Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark Average annual turnover of the bidder must be at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three financial years, supported by audited balance sheets and profit/loss statements.
Statutory Benchmark Submission of at least two work orders or completion certificates for similar research-based consultancy or academic data collection projects executed for government institutions or premier educational bodies.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the research assistant engagement at IIM Ranchi must be derived from the estimated man-month effort. Per GFR 2017, an 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 upon award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they 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 mitigate risks associated with project timelines. All financial instruments must be issued by scheduled commercial banks, ensuring liquidity and enforceability throughout the contract lifecycle, aligning with standard public procurement financial prudence and audit requirements.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration at Ranchi. Payments will be released based on milestone-based deliverables verified by the IIM Ranchi project lead. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the research output quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, preventing corruption and unethical practices. All deliverables must adhere to strict confidentiality and data privacy standards. Failure to meet milestones triggers the LD clause, while persistent non-performance allows IIM Ranchi to terminate the contract and forfeit the PBG.
