e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

The bidder must ensure valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and registration on the GeM portal to access the tender documents and participate in the electronic bidding process for IIIT Ranchi.

A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, clarify scope of work, and resolve ambiguities, with all amendments subsequently published as corrigenda on the official procurement portal.

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

Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of qualified bidders are opened online, and the L1 bidder is determined based on the lowest evaluated price for the fellowship.

Following the final approval by the competent authority at IIIT Ranchi, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution phase.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Post of Junior Research Fe 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 consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful completion of at least one similar research or academic project of equivalent scope within the last three years for a government entity.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License, ensuring full compliance with Indian labor and taxation laws.
Statutory Benchmark	Eligible MSMEs and Startups are entitled to exemptions from EMD and prior turnover/experience requirements 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 the Junior Research Fellow position at IIIT Ranchi necessitates a structured financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be derived from the approved fellowship stipend plus applicable overheads. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemptions under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the total contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. While tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, any offline procurement must adhere to standard fee structures. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the contract value, ensuring timely delivery of research outputs. This rigorous financial oversight protects the Institute's fiscal interests while maintaining transparency in public expenditure.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution shall be conducted through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration in Ranchi. Payments are linked to milestone-based deliverables verified by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to the quality of research documentation submitted. An Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency. All parties must adhere to the code of integrity, preventing conflict of interest and ensuring that the research fellowship is executed with professional diligence and strict adherence to institutional academic standards.

Procurement & Bidding FAQs — The Post of Junior Research Fe

Are Joint Ventures permitted for this procurement?

Joint Ventures are generally not permitted unless explicitly stated in the tender document, as the nature of the research fellowship requires individual professional expertise.

What is the prescribed format for the EMD Bank Guarantee?

The EMD Bank Guarantee must be submitted in the standard format provided in the tender document, issued by a scheduled commercial bank, and valid for 45 days beyond the bid validity.

What is the standard bid validity period?

Is there a price variation clause applicable?

No, this is a fixed-price contract; the fellowship stipend and associated costs remain firm throughout the contract duration unless otherwise specified by government notification.

How are technical evaluation marks calculated?

Technical evaluation is based on a pass/fail criteria against the defined eligibility standards; only technically qualified bidders proceed to the financial opening stage.

Can the PBG be submitted in forms other than a Bank Guarantee?

Yes, the PBG may be submitted as a Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) or a Demand Draft pledged in favor of IIIT Ranchi, as per the Institute's financial policy.
