e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain necessary procurement tokens and access the IIIT Ranchi tender dashboard.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries regarding JRF/Project Lead profiles, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the scope and evaluation criteria.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing recruitment methodology and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.

The procurement committee conducts the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, identifying the L1 vendor based on the lowest quoted service charges for the recruitment process.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder, followed by the signing of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to initiate the recruitment project at IIIT Ranchi.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Jrf and Project Lead Recruitment 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 two similar recruitment projects for academic or research institutions within the last five years, evidenced by completion certificates or work orders.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to submission of valid Udyam or Startup certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for recruitment services at IIIT Ranchi must be determined based on the estimated volume of JRF and Project Lead positions. In alignment with GFR 2017, an EMD of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent 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, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of recruitment milestones. These parameters collectively mitigate financial risk, ensure accountability, and maintain fiscal discipline throughout the procurement lifecycle of the project.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in Ranchi jurisdiction. Payments will be processed against milestone billing linked to the successful onboarding of candidates. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of recruited personnel. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains compliant with public procurement policies, ethical standards, and the specific administrative requirements of IIIT Ranchi.
