e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
The bidder must register on the CPPP or GeM portal using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain system-generated tokens for secure participation in the IIMU recruitment tender.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope of work, with all amendments subsequently published as corrigenda on the official procurement portal.
Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid containing credentials and a separate commercial bid, ensuring no financial information is disclosed within the technical documentation envelope.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of technically qualified bidders will be opened online, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest evaluated price.
Following the financial evaluation and internal approval, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued to the successful service provider, initiating the contract execution and performance security submission.
Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards
Bidders participating in Iimu Director Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:
| Evaluation Benchmark | Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant |

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the IIMU Director recruitment service involves a high-stakes professional consultancy contract. Given the specialized nature of executive search, the estimated contract value must be determined based on market benchmarks for leadership acquisition. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory under GFR 2017 to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% is required post-award to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if processed offline, they remain non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, mitigate risks associated with high-level recruitment delays, and align with the fiscal prudence mandates of the Ministry of Finance for autonomous institutions.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall strictly adhere to 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 Udaipur. Billing shall be milestone-based, linked to the successful onboarding of the Director. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the quality of candidate screening. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency, requiring the service provider to commit to ethical practices throughout the engagement. Failure to comply with these GCC provisions will lead to the forfeiture of the PBG and potential blacklisting of the agency.
