e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal using valid DSCs, ensuring all organizational profiles are verified and mapped to the specific IIITB procurement category for transparency.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, subsequently issuing a formal corrigendum to all prospective bidders to ensure a level playing field.
Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate commercial BoQ, ensuring technical compliance before financial evaluation to maintain the integrity of the process.
The technical committee evaluates submissions against pre-defined criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the financial opening stage on the GeM portal, where the lowest responsive bidder is identified for award consideration.
Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIITB Advisor Recruitment requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract value must be determined through a detailed market survey to ensure competitive bidding. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent 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 percent of the contract value is essential to safeguard the institution against non-performance. While tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, any offline procurement must adhere to standard fee structures. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, risk mitigation, and adherence to the principles of transparency and economy in public procurement.
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 Bengaluru. Payments will be structured against specific deliverables and milestones rather than upfront lump sums. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months post-completion ensures the quality of advisory outputs. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact is mandatory, requiring both IIITB and the bidder to commit to ethical practices. All financial transactions and reporting must strictly adhere to GFR 2017 guidelines, ensuring that the procurement process remains transparent, auditable, and compliant with institutional financial regulations.
