e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procurement requirement on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring digital signature certificates are active for all authorized signatories to facilitate secure electronic bid submission and authentication.
Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing formal corrigenda to all participants to maintain a level playing field.
Implement a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials in the first cover and financial quotes in the second, ensuring technical evaluation precedes the opening of commercial bids.
Perform the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders only, conducting a comparative analysis to identify the L1 bidder in accordance with the evaluation criteria defined.
Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security, initiating the contractual obligations and formalizing the executive recruitment engagement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIML Director recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. 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) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure faithful execution. 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 total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with high-stakes executive recruitment, ensuring the procuring entity remains protected against non-performance or delays in the critical selection process.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in Lucknow. Payments will be structured against defined milestones, such as the submission of the long-list, short-list, and successful onboarding of the candidate. 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 ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All deliverables must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains audit-compliant and follows the highest standards of institutional governance.
