e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

The bidder must complete registration on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain necessary authentication tokens for secure participation in the tendering process.

A mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted by IIITBH Authority to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, with responses published as corrigenda on the official procurement portal.

Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid containing credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation to maintain integrity.

Following the technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of only the technically qualified bidders will be opened, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest evaluated cost.

The IIITBH Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the subsequent submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Selected and Waitlisted Candidates Project Assistant 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 percent 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 project involving recruitment or manpower assistance services for an academic or government institution within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, registered MSMEs and startups are eligible for exemption from EMD submission upon providing valid Udyam registration.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Project Assistant recruitment project must be determined based on the estimated man-month rates and administrative overheads. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for project timelines and adherence to the service level agreements defined by IIITBH Authority.

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 the jurisdiction of the IIITBH Authority. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to the successful onboarding of candidates. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of candidate screening and documentation. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to ensure transparency and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle. All payments are subject to statutory deductions, and the contractor must maintain strict compliance with all applicable labor laws and social security regulations throughout the tenure.
