Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated 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 successfully executing at least three similar recruitment projects for premier academic or research institutions within the last five years, including relevant work orders.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License, ensuring full compliance with Indian labor laws and tax regulations throughout the contract.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIIT Kalyani Director recruitment consultancy services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the high-stakes nature of leadership acquisition, the contract valuation must be based on a fixed-fee model per successful placement. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 5% of the contract value is essential to safeguard institutional interests during the engagement period. The tender document fee remains non-refundable to cover administrative processing costs. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value, ensuring the service provider adheres to the recruitment timeline. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with professional service procurement in an autonomous academic institution.

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 Kalyani. Payments follow a milestone-based structure linked to recruitment stages: advertisement, shortlist, and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-appointment applies to ensure candidate retention. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency, requiring both parties to refrain from corrupt practices. All services must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains fair, competitive, and compliant with the institutional mandates of IIIT Kalyani.
