Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the selection of Senior Research Fellows (SRF) under the NHPC-sponsored project at IIITL requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017.

Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10 percent of the contract value, ensuring accountability for project milestones while maintaining a fair balance between the procuring entity and the research personnel.
