e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal using a valid DSC, generate a unique bid number, and publish the Request for Proposal (RFP) with detailed scope of work and evaluation criteria.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address prospective bidder queries, issue formal corrigenda if necessary, and ensure all technical specifications are transparently communicated to potential executive search agencies.
Implement a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials and financial proposals separately; the technical cover is evaluated first to ensure compliance with experience and qualification standards.
Open the commercial BoQ only for technically qualified bidders; conduct a comparative statement analysis to identify the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price for the recruitment services.
Issue the Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after internal financial concurrence, followed by the signing of a formal service level agreement detailing the recruitment milestones and deliverables.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the IIIT Vadodara Director recruitment service involves a professional consultancy valuation based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated contract value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted for registered MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on the GeM portal to promote transparency. The contract includes a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with the high-stakes nature of academic leadership recruitment.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in Vadodara jurisdiction. Payments are linked to recruitment milestones, specifically the submission of a long-list, short-list, and successful onboarding of the candidate. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment process, ensuring the agency provides replacements if the selected candidate resigns prematurely. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All statutory deductions including TDS and GST shall be processed as per prevailing government notifications, ensuring full compliance with GFR 2017 guidelines.
