Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIMK Director recruitment services involves high-stakes professional consultancy. Given the sensitive nature of the appointment, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, as per GFR 2017 guidelines. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required to safeguard the institution against non-performance. While tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, any offline procurement must adhere to standard fee structures. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of the recruitment process. These parameters collectively ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with the high-level executive search mandate for the premier institute.

Billing will be milestone-based, linked to specific recruitment stages such as candidate shortlisting and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the quality of the search process. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for this high-value procurement to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and maintain ethical standards throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
