e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and ensure all organizational documents are uploaded to the vendor profile for seamless participation in the tender.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries regarding the DRDO project scope, ensuring all clarifications are formally issued as corrigenda to maintain transparency for all prospective bidders.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the Technical Bid (credentials, experience, and methodology) and the Financial Bid (BoQ) through the GeM portal before the specified deadline to ensure valid technical evaluation.

Upon successful technical qualification, the financial bids (BoQ) of eligible bidders are opened electronically, and the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price for the research services.

The IIITBH Authority issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract period and requiring the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee within the stipulated timeframe.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Selection of a Jrf in a DRDO F 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 over the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar research-oriented project or technical consultancy work for a government or autonomous body within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, and proof of compliance with EPF, ESI, and relevant Labor Licenses as per the prevailing Indian labor laws.
Statutory Benchmark	Eligible MSMEs and Startups are exempted from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam registration certificates during the bid submission.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) engagement must align with DST/DRDO fellowship guidelines. Given the nature of the research project, the EMD is set at 2% of the estimated annual value to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted per GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% is mandatory to secure the performance of the research deliverables. Tender document fees are waived for GeM-based procurements to promote transparency. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the contract value, to ensure timely completion of research milestones. Financial bids must be submitted via the BoQ template, ensuring all statutory deductions are accounted for. This structure balances fiscal prudence with the specialized requirements of a DRDO-funded project, ensuring IIITBH remains compliant with GFR 2017 financial protocols.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIITBH campus. Payments are linked to the successful completion of research milestones verified by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to the technical documentation and deliverables provided. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and ethical conduct. All deliverables must adhere to DRDO security protocols, and the contractor must maintain strict confidentiality regarding the research data throughout the project lifecycle.
