Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Project Assistant role at IIM Kashipur necessitates a precise valuation based on current market labor rates and institutional budgetary provisions. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated contract value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemption under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on the GeM portal to encourage wider participation. The contract includes a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of services and adherence to the defined project timelines.

Any disputes arising shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at Kashipur. Billing shall be processed on a monthly milestone basis upon verification of attendance and service reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of deliverables. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, binding both the IIM Kashipur authority and the selected service provider to strict professional standards.
