e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM 4.0 portal using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy.

2

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and service level agreements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the IIMK driver requirements.

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing driver qualifications and agency credentials, followed by a separate commercial BoQ financial bid on the GeM platform.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening after technical evaluation, where the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price for the specified scope of work.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to formalize the contractual obligations and service commencement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for IIMK driver recruitment must be derived from the total cost of service, including minimum wages, statutory contributions, and administrative charges. Per 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 under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 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 applicable, must be non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely service delivery and accountability throughout the tenure of the engagement.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at IIMK. Billing is strictly milestone-based, linked to monthly attendance and statutory compliance verification. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is not applicable for service contracts; however, a service performance review is conducted quarterly. The agency must adhere to an Integrity Pact if the contract value exceeds the threshold defined by the CVC, ensuring transparency, ethical conduct, and zero tolerance for corrupt practices throughout the contract lifecycle.
