e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must ensure valid DSC and registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to access tender documents and participate in the electronic bidding process for IIM Lucknow recruitment services.
A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the recruitment process and deliverables.
Bidders are required to submit a two-cover bid system, comprising a technical proposal detailing methodology and credentials, and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price disclosure in the technical cover.
Following technical evaluation, the financial bids of only technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price.
The Institute will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, stipulating the contract commencement date, performance security submission timeline, and formal agreement execution requirements.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIM Lucknow recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined via a detailed cost estimate based on historical recruitment data and market benchmarks. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under Rule 170. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value, valid for the contract duration plus a claim period. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be 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 protect the Institute against non-performance or delays in critical recruitment timelines.
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 achievements, such as completion of screening, interview coordination, and final onboarding support. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017, ensuring that the Institute maintains strict oversight over the recruitment lifecycle and financial outflows throughout the contract tenure.
