e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must register on the GeM portal with valid DSC tokens to access the tender documents and participate in the electronic bidding process for the Ph.D. degree award services.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and clarity regarding the scope of work and specific deliverables required by IIITM.

Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid detailing credentials and methodology, and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

The commercial BoQ will be opened only for bidders who qualify the technical evaluation criteria, ensuring that price competition is restricted to technically capable and compliant service providers only.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued to the L1 bidder, formalizing the contract and initiating the project timeline.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Ph D Degree Award of Teachers must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must provide proof of executing at least one similar project related to academic degree processing or educational service management for a government or autonomous institution.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registrations, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full compliance with Indian statutory and labor welfare regulations.
Statutory Benchmark	MSME and Startup entities are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Ph.D. Degree Award services by IIITM Authority requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be derived from a realistic cost estimate based on market research. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is essential to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with service delivery timelines, ensuring the IIITM Authority maintains fiscal discipline throughout the project lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017. All disputes arising under this agreement shall be settled through arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIITM campus. Payments will be released based on milestone achievements verified by the academic committee. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months is applicable to ensure the integrity of the degree award process. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to uphold transparency, prevent corruption, and ensure ethical conduct throughout the execution of the procurement contract.
