e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must register on the GeM portal with valid DSC and organizational credentials to access the tender document and participate in the bidding process for the Research Assistant requirement.

A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope of work, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the IIM Rohtak requirements.

Bidders shall submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing researcher qualifications and experience, followed by a separate financial BoQ submission ensuring compliance with all mandatory service parameters.

The technical evaluation committee will assess bids against pre-qualification criteria, followed by the opening of the financial BoQ for technically qualified bidders to determine the lowest responsive bidder.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued to the successful bidder to initiate the contract execution phase.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Post of Research Assistant 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 turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar research-oriented service contract for a government institution or premier academic body within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Research Assistant position at IIM Rohtak must be structured as a service contract. Given the nature of professional services, the estimated contract value should be derived based on prevailing market rates for research personnel. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170 of GFR 2017. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the total contract value is required upon award to secure performance obligations. The tender document fee is typically waived on GeM to promote transparency. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the contract value, ensuring accountability for service delivery timelines. Financial bids must be submitted via the BoQ template, ensuring all statutory deductions are accounted for in the quoted rates.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be handled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at Rohtak. Payments will be processed on a milestone basis upon successful verification of research deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of research output. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for contracts exceeding the specified threshold to ensure transparency. All statutory compliances, including timely payment of wages and social security contributions for deployed personnel, remain the sole responsibility of the service provider throughout the contract tenure.
