e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM 4.0 portal using valid DSCs to ensure digital authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy for recruitment service tenders.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope of work ambiguities, and eligibility criteria, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the recruitment requirements.
Submit the two-cover bid consisting of the technical proposal, including credentials and methodology, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.
Perform technical evaluation of submitted bids followed by the opening of financial BoQs for technically qualified bidders to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price.
Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder, followed by the signing of the service level agreement and submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIITB recruitment services requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for HR consultancy or recruitment services. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemption 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, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of recruitment milestones. These parameters mitigate financial risk for IIITB while maintaining a competitive and transparent bidding environment for service providers.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017, incorporating a mandatory Integrity Pact for transparency. Dispute resolution will be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at Bangalore. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment is applicable to ensure candidate retention and quality. All statutory payments, including EPF and ESI, must be verified before processing invoices. Compliance with the latest GeM General Terms and Conditions (GTC) is non-negotiable for all service delivery aspects under this recruitment mandate.
