e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal using a valid DSC to obtain a unique token, ensuring all organizational profile details are updated in compliance with IIM Nagpur procurement requirements.

Participate in the pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility constraints, ensuring all amendments are formally issued via corrigendum on the GeM portal for transparency.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of the technical proposal, including credentials and experience, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.

The technical committee evaluates bids against pre-qualification criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the commercial BoQ opening, where the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, IIM Nagpur issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA), initiating the contract execution phase subject to PBG submission.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Post of Junior Research Fel must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual financial turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar research or academic support project of equivalent scope for a central government or premier educational institution.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, and proof of registration for EPF and ESI, alongside a valid Labor License as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemptions from EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam or Startup registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Junior Research Fellow position at IIM Nagpur requires a meticulous valuation based on the consolidated monthly fellowship and applicable institutional overheads. As per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated contract 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 total contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. The contract must strictly incorporate a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate institutional risk, and align with the fiscal prudence mandates of the Ministry of Finance.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at Nagpur. Payments are processed on a milestone basis upon verification of deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to all research outputs. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to ensure transparency. The contractor must adhere to all statutory labor laws, and the institution reserves the right to terminate the contract for non-compliance with the stipulated service level agreements.
