Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIM Trichy AAO recruitment services necessitates a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined via a detailed cost estimate based on market rates for recruitment process outsourcing. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for service delivery timelines while protecting the institute from undue financial loss.

Milestone billing will be linked to successful recruitment phases, ensuring payments are released upon verification of deliverables.

An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and ethical conduct.
