e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal using a valid DSC, ensuring all organizational credentials and administrative approvals are uploaded to generate a unique Tender ID for the recruitment process.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from potential bidders, ensuring all amendments are published as corrigenda on the portal to maintain transparency and fair competition standards.
Implement a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials in the first cover, followed by the financial BoQ in the second, ensuring technical evaluation precedes the opening of commercial bids.
Perform a systematic opening of the commercial BoQ only for technically qualified bidders, ensuring the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price as per GFR 2017 guidelines.
Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after internal financial concurrence, stipulating the acceptance of terms and the submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the IIIT Dharwad Director recruitment involves high-level consultancy services. Given the sensitivity and specialized nature, the contract valuation must be determined based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandated under GFR 2017 to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required upon award to secure service delivery. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and adherence to public procurement norms, protecting the Institute against non-performance while maintaining a competitive environment for specialized recruitment agencies.
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 Dharwad. Milestone-based billing will be linked to successful candidate shortlisting and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of the recruitment process. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All payments are subject to statutory deductions, and the contract remains subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, ensuring strict adherence to the General Financial Rules 2017.
