e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to initiate the tender creation process and generate a unique Tender ID.
Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing formal corrigendum responses to all participants via the portal.
Invite bidders to submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid detailing executive search methodology and a separate financial bid to ensure objective evaluation of credentials.
Perform a technical evaluation followed by the opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) for technically qualified bidders to identify the lowest responsive bidder (L1).
Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful agency, stipulating the acceptance of terms, submission of PBG, and signing of the formal Service Level Agreement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Iipsdata Director Recruitment requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarking for executive search services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the contract value. This structure ensures fiscal discipline, mitigates financial risk for Iipsdata, and maintains accountability throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments will be linked to specific recruitment milestones, such as candidate shortlisting and final onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of candidates provided. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains competitive, fair, and compliant with all statutory labor and taxation regulations.
