Evaluation BenchmarkMandated 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 successfully executing at least three similar executive search or recruitment projects for premier academic or government institutions within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Director Recruitment service at IIIT Agartala necessitates a robust commercial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be derived from market benchmarking for executive search services. 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) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value is required to secure performance obligations throughout the tenure. 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, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, mitigate procurement risks, and protect the institute against potential service delivery failures or delays in the high-stakes recruitment process.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in Agartala jurisdiction. Payments will be linked to defined milestones, such as the submission of a long-list, short-list, and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment is mandated to address any procedural lapses. An Integrity Pact must be signed for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains fair, competitive, and compliant with the institutional mandate of IIIT Agartala.
