Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Of Research Positions Icssr Funded 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 research-oriented project or academic consultancy service 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 as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for ICSSR-funded research positions must be determined based on the approved budgetary heads, including fellowship stipends, contingency grants, and institutional overheads. As per GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemptions under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure faithful execution. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is 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 and mitigate risks for IIIT Agartala while maintaining compliance with public procurement norms and ensuring value for money in research administration.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be conducted through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at Agartala. Payments will be released against milestone-based deliverables verified by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of research outputs. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All financial transactions must adhere to the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) guidelines to ensure audit trails and compliance with ICSSR funding mandates.
