e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must complete registration on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain necessary authentication tokens for accessing the IIITS Authority tender documents.

A pre-bid clarification meeting is conducted to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or clarifications to the scope of work for the project.

Bidders must submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing qualifications and experience, followed by a separate commercial BoQ containing the financial quote for the project assistant services.

Upon successful technical evaluation, the commercial BoQ of technically qualified bidders is opened to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price for the specified project scope.

The IIITS Authority issues a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution phase upon receipt of the signed agreement and required performance security.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Project Assistant Under Anrf Project 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 financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar project or service contract for a government or academic institution within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registration certificates, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full statutory compliance with Indian labor and tax laws.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, subject to valid Udyam registration.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Project Assistant role under the ANRF project must be determined based on the approved project budget, ensuring compliance with GFR 2017 guidelines. An 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 contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline and protect the IIITS Authority against potential project slippage or non-performance, aligning with standard public procurement financial protocols for research-based service contracts.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIITS jurisdiction. Payments are structured on milestone-based deliverables verified by the project lead. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) is set at six months post-completion to ensure service quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle. All deliverables must adhere to the specific research standards mandated by the ANRF project guidelines to ensure successful project closure and audit compliance.
