Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Research Fellow ICMR Project at IIIT Agartala must align with GFR 2017 guidelines. The contract valuation should be determined based on the fellowship stipend and contingency grants mandated by ICMR norms. 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% is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance, valid until 60 days beyond the project completion. 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 and protect the procuring entity against potential project slippages while maintaining transparency in public fund utilization.

A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the final research report submission.
