Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIMK Consultant Recruitment requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be based on a detailed market survey to ensure reasonableness. 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 from the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. 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 discipline, mitigate risks, and protect the procuring entity against potential defaults while maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the consultancy engagement lifecycle.

Dispute resolution shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the IIMK campus.
