e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
The bidder must register on the CPPP or GeM portal using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to access tender documents and participate in the electronic bidding process for IIITL.
A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the Director recruitment mandate and evaluation criteria.
Bidders must submit a two-cover bid system: Cover-I containing technical credentials, experience, and statutory documents, and Cover-II containing the financial BoQ, ensuring no price details are disclosed in the technical cover.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids of technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest quoted service fee.
Following the financial evaluation and internal approvals, the Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued to the successful bidder, marking the formal commencement of the contractual obligation for recruitment services.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the Director recruitment services at IIITL requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under 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. The tender document fee should be non-refundable and nominal to encourage competition. 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 security for the institute while maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment lifecycle, mitigating risks associated with non-performance or delays in the high-stakes selection process.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the institute. Payments will be linked to specific recruitment milestones, such as the submission of the long-list and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the recruitment process to ensure candidate retention. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact will be mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and maintain ethical standards throughout the engagement period between IIITL and the service provider.
