e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Vendors must register on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to obtain necessary login credentials and authorization tokens for participating in the IIMU recruitment tender.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled to address technical queries, scope clarifications, and eligibility constraints, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the recruitment process and deliverables.
Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation to maintain integrity.
The technical evaluation committee reviews submissions against predefined criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the commercial BoQ opening, where the lowest responsive bidder (L1) is identified for the contract award.
Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the IIMU issues a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution and onboarding process.

| Evaluation Benchmark | Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant |

| Statutory Benchmark | The bidder must provide proof of executing at least three similar recruitment projects for premier academic or research institutions within the last five years, evidenced by successful work orders. |

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIMU Professor Recruitment services involves high-stakes human capital acquisition. Given the specialized nature, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3 to 5 percent is required post-award to secure service delivery standards. While tender document fees are largely deprecated under the GeM 4.0 regime, any offline component must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for recruitment timelines and quality of shortlisted candidates. This structure balances financial risk mitigation with the need for competitive participation in a highly specialized professional services sector.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract is 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 the IIMU campus. Billing is structured on a milestone basis, linked to the successful onboarding of faculty members. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the quality of candidate screening. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle, binding both the procuring entity and the service provider.
