e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procurement requirement on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring all digital signature certificates are active and the tender document is uploaded with comprehensive technical and financial specifications.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address vendor queries regarding the scope of work, evaluation criteria, and timeline, subsequently issuing a formal corrigendum to all prospective bidders if necessary.
Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid detailing firm credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation package.
The technical committee evaluates proposals against pre-defined criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the commercial BoQ opening, where the lowest responsive bidder is identified for the final selection process.
Upon successful financial evaluation and internal approval, IIML issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission process.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIML Director recruitment involves high-stakes professional services, necessitating a robust financial framework. The estimated contract value must be derived from market benchmarking for executive search firms. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service delivery standards. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. This structure ensures financial accountability, protects the institute against non-performance, and aligns with standard GFR 2017 guidelines for professional service contracts.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at Lucknow. Payments will follow a milestone-based schedule linked to recruitment stages. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-appointment is mandatory to ensure candidate retention and service quality. An Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All financial transactions and deliverables must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring fiscal prudence and accountability throughout the engagement period.
