e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM 4.0 portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with IT Act provisions.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or clarifications through formal corrigendum uploads on the procurement portal.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and research methodology, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all mandatory documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders only, ensuring the evaluation process follows the L1 criteria as per GFR 2017 guidelines for service-based project procurements.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the contract agreement, incorporating all terms, conditions, and specific DBT project deliverables.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Selection of One Jrf Under the Dbt Funded Project 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 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 research-oriented project or manpower supply contract for a government or autonomous institution in the last three years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registration certificates, along with a valid Labor License, is required to ensure full statutory compliance under Indian labor laws.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemptions from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) under a DBT-funded project requires adherence to GFR 2017 guidelines regarding financial prudence. Given the nature of research fellowships, the contract valuation is typically based on fixed DBT norms. While standard procurement mandates an EMD of 2% and a PBG of 3-5% for service contracts, research fellowships often qualify for exemptions under specific project guidelines. However, if outsourced via an agency, the EMD ensures bidder seriousness, while the PBG acts as a safeguard against non-performance. The tender fee is generally waived for MSMEs and startups to encourage participation. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, set at 0.5% per week of delay up to a maximum of 10%, is a critical deterrent against project timeline slippages. All financial transactions must align with the project's specific budgetary heads approved by the Department of Biotechnology to ensure audit compliance.

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. Milestone-based billing will be linked to the successful submission of periodic research progress reports approved by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of administrative deliverables. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the project lifecycle, strictly adhering to the Central Vigilance Commission guidelines for public procurement.
