e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility criteria, ensuring all participants have a uniform understanding of the IIIT Ranchi requirements.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing manpower qualifications and a separate commercial BoQ, ensuring all mandatory documents are uploaded before the specified deadline.

Participate in the commercial BoQ financial opening process, where the institute evaluates the lowest responsive bidder (L1) based on the total cost of service delivery and financial compliance.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) from IIIT Ranchi, followed by the signing of the Service Level Agreement and submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual financial turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful completion of at least one similar manpower supply or project assistance contract for a Central Government or Autonomous Institute.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Project Assistant role at IIIT Ranchi necessitates a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on the prevailing market rates for skilled technical manpower. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain 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 discipline, mitigate risks for the institute, and maintain transparency throughout the lifecycle of the service engagement.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at Ranchi. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing upon verification of monthly attendance and performance reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of services rendered. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be invoked for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement process, binding both the IIIT Ranchi authority and the service provider to strict adherence.
