e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Procuring entity initiates the tender on the GeM portal, requiring bidders to possess valid DSC and GeM registration tokens to ensure secure access and authenticated participation in the procurement process.
A pre-bid clarification meeting is conducted to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and allowing for potential corrigendum issuance to refine the scope of the recruitment services.
Bidders submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid detailing methodology and credentials, and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring that technical competence is evaluated prior to any price disclosure.
The technical evaluation committee reviews submissions against pre-defined criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the commercial BoQ opening, where the lowest responsive bidder is identified for the final selection process.
Upon successful financial evaluation and internal approval, the Procuring Entity issues a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution and service commencement phase.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIITL Director recruitment services involves high-stakes professional consultancy. Given the specialized nature, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per 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, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, to mitigate risks of timeline slippage in the recruitment process. Financial bids must be submitted via BoQ, ensuring transparency and adherence to the General Financial Rules regarding cost-effectiveness and value for money.
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 headquarters. Payments will be structured against defined milestones, such as the submission of the long-list and final selection of candidates. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment process to ensure candidate retention and suitability. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and maintain ethical standards throughout the procurement lifecycle, strictly adhering to the guidelines stipulated in the GFR 2017 and CVC circulars.
