e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and organizational credentials are uploaded to initiate the electronic tendering process for recruitment services.

2

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or corrigenda to the tender document based on industry feedback received.

3

Execute a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials in the first cover and financial BoQ in the second, ensuring technical evaluation precedes the opening of commercial bids.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders only, conducting a comparative statement analysis to identify the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated responsive price.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after verifying the PBG submission, followed by the signing of the formal contract agreement to commence recruitment services.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Iift Organization Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark Average Annual Turnover of the bidder must be at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark Submission of at least three work orders for similar recruitment or human resource services executed for Central/State Government or PSUs in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark Mandatory possession of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registrations, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark Exemption from EMD submission for MSMEs and Startups as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam Registration or DPIIT recognition certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIFT recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract value must be derived from a realistic market survey. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. 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 accountability, mitigate risks of non-performance, and maintain fiscal discipline throughout the recruitment lifecycle, ensuring the procuring entity remains protected against potential service delivery failures or contractual breaches.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution shall be conducted under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in New Delhi. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to successful recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to statutory labor laws, and the contractor remains liable for any non-compliance during the tenure of the agreement.
