e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the organization on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class III Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain necessary authentication tokens for secure bid submission and document uploading.
Participate in the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to seek technical and commercial deviations, ensuring all queries are addressed through formal corrigenda published on the portal before the bid submission deadline.
Submit a two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and compliance documents, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded within the specified portal window.
The procuring entity conducts the technical evaluation, followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders, determining the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price.
Upon successful financial evaluation and internal approval, the procuring entity issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission process.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
For the IIM Lucknow recruitment services contract, the valuation must be derived from a realistic assessment of candidate volume and service level agreements. In accordance with GFR 2017, 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 post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a stringent 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. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with recruitment timelines and quality deliverables, aligning with standard public procurement financial prudence.
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 processed based on milestone billing linked to recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment is mandatory to address any procedural lapses. An Integrity Pact must be signed for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains fair, competitive, and transparent throughout the contract lifecycle, with strict adherence to statutory labor law obligations.
Procurement & Bidding FAQs — Iiml IIM Lucknow Recruitment
Unless explicitly stated in the tender document, JVs are generally discouraged for service-based recruitment contracts to ensure accountability of a single prime contractor.
The EMD Bank Guarantee must be issued by a scheduled commercial bank in the format prescribed in the tender document, valid for at least 45 days beyond the final bid validity.
The standard bid validity period is typically 90 to 120 days from the date of technical bid opening, during which the bidder cannot withdraw their offer.
Recruitment service contracts are typically fixed-price contracts; however, statutory changes in minimum wages or government levies may be considered for reimbursement upon documentary evidence.
Technical evaluation is based on a scoring matrix covering firm experience, methodology, team expertise, and past performance, usually requiring a minimum threshold score to qualify for financial opening.
For procurements exceeding the threshold defined by the CVC, the Integrity Pact is mandatory and must be signed by both the bidder and the procuring entity.
