Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIITL Director Recruitment involves high-level executive search services. Given the specialized nature, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for headhunting firms. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service delivery standards. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total order value. This structure ensures financial accountability, mitigates risks associated with executive search timelines, and aligns with GFR 2017 financial prudence guidelines for professional service contracts.
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 IIITL location. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful candidate shortlisting, interviews, and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-appointment is mandatory to ensure candidate retention. An Integrity Pact is required for transparency, mandating that both the procuring entity and the service provider commit to ethical practices. All financial transactions and deliverables must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 to ensure audit compliance and institutional integrity throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
