Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under 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, they remain 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. This structure ensures financial accountability while protecting the IIHTKANNUR Authority against potential service delivery failures or timeline slippages during the sensitive verification process.

All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration in Kannur. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to the successful verification of document batches. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-completion ensures data integrity and rectification of errors. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to maintain transparency, ethical conduct, and accountability throughout the procurement lifecycle, ensuring that all parties adhere to the highest standards of public procurement integrity.
