Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Iimranchi Research Assistant For A Research Study On“Impact Evaluation Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual 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-based project or impact evaluation study for a government or academic institution within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, and active compliance with EPF, ESI, and relevant state labor licenses required for research personnel deployment.
Statutory Benchmark MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the research assistant engagement must be determined based on market benchmarks for academic consultancy. Per GFR 2017 guidelines, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid 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 discipline and protect IIM Ranchi against non-performance, aligning with standard public procurement financial protocols and ensuring fiscal accountability throughout the research project lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in Ranchi jurisdiction. Payments will be linked to specific research milestones, such as data collection, interim analysis, and final report submission. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-submission applies to ensure data integrity and correction of errors. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All deliverables must meet academic standards, and failure to adhere to the timeline will trigger the LD clause, ensuring the project remains on track and within the defined budgetary constraints.
