e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must register on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain authorized procurement tokens for participating in the IIITP Authority research fellowship tender.

A mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, with all amendments formally issued as corrigenda to ensure transparency for all prospective bidders.

Bidders shall submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid detailing researcher qualifications and project methodology, followed by a separate commercial BoQ containing the financial quote for the fellowship duration.

Upon successful technical evaluation, the commercial BoQ of qualified bidders will be opened on the portal, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest total cost quoted.

The IIITP Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, stipulating the commencement date, contractual obligations, and the requirement for submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Junior Research Fellow Jrf Junior Res 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 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar research-oriented project or academic fellowship management contract for a government entity or premier educational institution in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full statutory compliance with Indian labor and tax laws.
Statutory Benchmark	MSME and Startup entities are eligible for relaxation in prior experience and turnover criteria as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Junior Research Fellow services by IIITP Authority necessitates a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the nature of research services, the contract valuation must account for monthly stipends, contingency grants, and institutional overheads. An EMD of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, set at 0.5 percent per week of delay up to a maximum of 10 percent, serves as a critical deterrent against slippages in research deliverables. Financial prudence dictates that all payments be linked to verified milestone completion reports to ensure 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 through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the IIITP Authority. Billing is structured on a milestone basis, contingent upon the submission of progress reports and institutional approval. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-completion applies to ensure the integrity of research documentation. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle, ensuring that all parties adhere to the highest standards of public accountability.
