e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to ensure authentication and compliance with the IIMK Authority procurement portal requirements.

Attend the pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, ensuring all participants receive uniform information through published corrigenda on the official procurement platform.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and methodology, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the specified deadline.

Participate in the technical evaluation process where the committee assesses compliance against pre-qualification standards, followed by the opening of financial BoQs only for technically qualified bidders.

Receive the Letter of Award (LoA) upon successful selection, followed by the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee and signing of the formal contract agreement with IIMK Authority.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Field Investigator 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 consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful completion of at least one similar field investigation or data collection project of comparable scale for a government or academic institution.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI, alongside a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, registered MSMEs and Startups are exempt from EMD requirements upon submission of valid registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for Field Investigator services must be derived from market benchmarking and GFR 2017 guidelines. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs registered with Udyam are exempt per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, though offline tenders may specify nominal 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. This structure ensures financial accountability while maintaining competitive participation. All commercial terms must align with the General Financial Rules 2017 to ensure transparency, fiscal prudence, and adherence to the public procurement policy of the Government of India.

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 the jurisdiction of the IIMK Authority. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to the successful submission of validated field data. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-completion ensures data integrity and rectification of errors. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must strictly adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) stipulated by the IIMK Authority to maintain service quality and legal compliance.
