e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM portal using valid DSC tokens to ensure authentication and compliance with the mandatory procurement guidelines for government departments under GFR 2017.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform information through formal corrigendum uploads on the procurement portal.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing methodology and credentials, followed by a separate commercial BoQ containing the financial quote, ensuring no price disclosure in technical documents.

Perform the technical evaluation followed by the opening of commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders, ensuring the selection of the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price criteria.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the contract agreement upon submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee and statutory documentation.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Schedule Written Test Presentation Cum must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful execution of at least one similar project involving written test management or examination services for a government or autonomous institution in the last three years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License to ensure compliance with national labor and tax regulations.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for relaxation in prior experience and turnover criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, provided they submit valid Udyam registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Schedule Written Test Presentation Cum by IIFT Authority necessitates a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined via a detailed market survey to ensure reasonableness. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risks for the procuring entity, and maintain transparency throughout the lifecycle of the procurement process.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be handled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Delhi. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to the successful completion of test phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-execution is mandatory to address any post-test discrepancies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be invoked for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices, requiring both the IIFT Authority and the contractor to adhere to strict ethical conduct throughout the project duration.
