e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

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

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility criteria, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform information through published corrigenda on the portal.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal containing credentials and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.

Execute the commercial BoQ financial opening process where the system ranks bidders based on the lowest price quoted, followed by a thorough verification of the L1 bidder's financial documents.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after verifying the PBG submission, marking the official commencement of the contractual obligations and the service period.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Assistant Grade I by Transfer at IIHTKANNUR requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on the total cost of deputation or transfer-related administrative expenses. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for MSMEs. 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, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, protect the procuring entity against default, and maintain transparency throughout the procurement lifecycle while adhering to standard public procurement guidelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in Kannur. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to verified service delivery reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure the quality of administrative support provided. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to prevent corruption and ensure ethical conduct. All statutory deductions, including TDS and GST, will be withheld as per prevailing tax laws. The contract remains subject to the General Financial Rules 2017 and the specific terms outlined in the GeM Service Level Agreement.
