e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procurement entity and bidders on the CPPP or GeM portal using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with digital procurement guidelines for government entities.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility criteria, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform information via formal corrigendum uploads on the portal.
Submit bids in a two-cover system, separating technical credentials from financial quotes, to ensure that technical evaluation occurs independently of price considerations, maintaining the integrity of the selection process.
Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening exclusively for bidders who qualify the technical evaluation stage, ensuring the selection of the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price quote.
Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security and contract signing, initiating the formal engagement for the Director recruitment services.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the Director Recruitment 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 essential to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees should be kept nominal or waived per current digital procurement policies. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value, ensuring accountability. These parameters ensure financial prudence, mitigate risk, and maintain transparency throughout the recruitment lifecycle, adhering to the standard financial protocols mandated for autonomous educational institutions under the Ministry of Education.

The contract shall strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017. Any disputes arising shall be resolved through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Lucknow. Payments will be linked to predefined milestones, such as the submission of the long-list and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment is applicable to ensure candidate retention. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to prevent corrupt practices, ensuring that the entire recruitment process remains ethical, transparent, and compliant with the highest standards of public procurement governance.
