e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to ensure secure authentication for all electronic bid submissions.

Attend the pre-bid clarification meeting to resolve technical queries regarding the JRF scope, eligibility, and SERB project constraints, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the requirements.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing the candidate's research expertise and a separate financial bid containing the BoQ, strictly adhering to the specified submission deadline.

Participate in the commercial BoQ financial opening process, where the technical committee evaluates the financial quotes of only those bidders who have successfully qualified the technical evaluation criteria.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) from IIITDM Authority, which serves as the legally binding contract document initiating the engagement period and defining the commencement of research activities.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

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 preceding three 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 academic consultancy work order within the last three years in a government institution.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) under a SERB-funded project at IIITDM Authority involves specialized human resource engagement. Given the nature of academic research, the contract valuation is determined by SERB guidelines. While standard GFR 2017 mandates an EMD of 2% for high-value works, research fellowships often qualify for exemptions under Rule 170 for MSMEs or specific academic exemptions. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% is typically required to ensure project continuity and adherence to research timelines. Tender fees are generally waived for academic procurements to encourage wider participation. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, set at 0.5% per week of delay up to a maximum of 10%, serves as a critical financial deterrent against project slippage, ensuring that the research deliverables align with the SERB grant milestones and institutional academic standards.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract is governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 and IIITDM procurement policies. Dispute resolution shall be conducted through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the institute's location. Payments are linked to milestone-based deliverables verified by the Principal Investigator. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) ensures the quality of research output and administrative compliance. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the project lifecycle, safeguarding the interests of both the funding agency and the procuring entity.

No, the contract is based on a fixed-price model as per SERB fellowship norms; price variation clauses are typically not applicable for academic research personnel engagements.

How are technical evaluation marks assigned?

Technical evaluation is based on a scoring matrix assessing research experience, academic qualifications, and past performance, with a minimum qualifying threshold required to proceed to the financial bid.
