e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain necessary procurement tokens and access the tender document for the recruitment services.

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility criteria, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the IIMK Director recruitment requirements.

3

Submit the two-cover bid system comprising the Technical Bid (credentials, methodology, and experience) and the Financial Bid (BoQ) separately to ensure impartial evaluation of technical competence before opening commercial quotes.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders only, ensuring the selection of the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price as per the financial bid submission.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful agency, followed by the signing of the service level agreement to initiate the executive search process for the Director position.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIMK Director Recruitment involves high-level executive search services, necessitating a robust financial framework. The contract valuation is determined based on market benchmarks for leadership acquisition. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, risk mitigation, and adherence to GFR 2017 guidelines, protecting the interests of IIMK throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

Billing follows a milestone-based approach linked to key recruitment stages, such as candidate shortlisting and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment ensures the quality of the search process. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All services must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the procurement process remains fair, competitive, and accountable to the public exchequer throughout the engagement.
