e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to ensure secure authentication and compliance with IIMCAL procurement protocols for project-based services.

Participate in the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to resolve technical queries regarding the JRF scope, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the project deliverables and timelines.

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

Attend the commercial BoQ financial opening session where the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price, subject to meeting all technical pre-qualification standards and eligibility requirements.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Post of Jrf Project Develo 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 financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful execution of at least one similar research project or professional service contract for a government or academic institution within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registrations is required, along with a valid Labor License to ensure full statutory compliance with Indian labor laws and tax regulations.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) project development at IIM Calcutta must adhere to GFR 2017 financial prudence. Given the specialized nature of academic research support, the contract valuation should be derived from prevailing DST/UGC fellowship norms. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, though offline tenders may specify nominal non-refundable amounts. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability while maintaining competitive participation in line with public procurement guidelines for research-based services.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in Kolkata. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to research deliverables and project reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to ensure quality of output. As per GFR 2017, an Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corruption. All deliverables must meet the academic standards set by IIMCAL, and any failure to adhere to the scope of work will trigger the LD clause and potential contract termination.
