e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with digital procurement standards.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and service requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform information through formal corrigendum uploads on the portal.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal containing eligibility documents and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, where the system automatically ranks bids based on the lowest evaluated price (L1) in accordance with GFR rules.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after verifying the validity of the PBG and ensuring all statutory compliance documents are submitted and verified.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for driver services at IIITR Authority requires a meticulous financial structure aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be based on prevailing minimum wages, statutory contributions, and administrative charges. 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) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value is required upon award to secure performance. Tender document fees, if applicable, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value. This framework ensures financial accountability, protects the procuring entity against service lapses, and maintains fiscal discipline throughout the contract lifecycle, ensuring compliance with GeM 4.0 standards and public procurement guidelines.

A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is not applicable to service contracts; however, a service performance review is conducted quarterly. An Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct by both the service provider and the IIITR Authority throughout the tenure.
