e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) are obtained for all authorized signatories to facilitate secure online tender publication and document access.

2

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing formal corrigenda to all participants to maintain a level playing field for everyone.

3

Implement a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials and financial bids separately, ensuring that technical evaluation is completed before the financial bids of qualified vendors are opened for consideration.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, conducting a comparative analysis to identify the L1 vendor while ensuring the rates are reasonable and aligned with market standards.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security, marking the official commencement of the contractual obligations and the recruitment project timeline.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIMB Director recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the specialized nature of executive search, the estimated contract value must be derived from market benchmarking. An EMD of 2 percent is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee of 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is essential to secure performance throughout the engagement period. The tender fee should be non-refundable to cover administrative processing costs. To mitigate risks associated with delays in the selection process, a Liquidated Damages clause of 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, is incorporated. This structure ensures fiscal discipline, protects the institution's interests, and maintains accountability for the service provider throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in Bengaluru. Payments will be linked to specific milestones, such as the submission of the long-list, short-list, and final candidate selection. A Defect Liability Period of six months post-appointment is mandatory to address any recruitment-related discrepancies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices throughout the procurement process. All contractual obligations must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017 to ensure institutional accountability and financial probity in the recruitment of the Director.
