Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIMU Director Recruitment involves high-stakes executive search services. Given the specialized nature, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for headhunting premium academic leadership. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, as per GFR 2017 provisions. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required post-award to secure service delivery. While tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, administrative costs may apply. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for timelines. Financial bids must be submitted via BoQ, ensuring transparency and competitive pricing. All financial instruments must be verifiable through the SFMS platform to prevent fraud and ensure compliance with institutional financial protocols.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at Udaipur. Payments will be linked to specific milestones, such as candidate shortlisting and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the quality of candidate screening. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the recruitment lifecycle, binding both the IIMU administration and the selected recruitment agency to strict professional standards.
