Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIITBH Director Recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the specialized nature of executive search, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for headhunting premium academic leadership. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is essential to secure performance during the search tenure. Tender document fees should be kept nominal or waived in line with GeM guidelines to encourage competitive participation. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, capped at 0.5% per week up to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, serves as a critical deterrent against delays in candidate shortlisting and final placement, ensuring the institute maintains its operational continuity and leadership stability.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in the jurisdiction of the IIITBH location. Payments will be structured against defined milestones, such as the submission of a long-list, short-list, and successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the placed candidate, requiring the agency to provide a replacement if the candidate resigns prematurely. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the recruitment lifecycle, ensuring all parties adhere to the highest standards of public procurement integrity.
