Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for IIMK Consultant Recruitment must be derived from a realistic market estimate, ensuring alignment with GFR 2017 guidelines. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. 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, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial risk mitigation for IIMK while maintaining competitive neutrality. All financial instruments must be verifiable through the SFMS platform to prevent fraud, ensuring the procurement process remains transparent, auditable, and compliant with the Ministry of Finance directives.

Payments will be released based on predefined milestone deliverables verified by the project committee. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months post-completion is mandatory to ensure service quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, preventing corrupt practices and ensuring that all parties adhere to the highest ethical standards throughout the project lifecycle, as mandated by the Central Vigilance Commission guidelines.
