Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIRS Director recruitment involves high-stakes professional services, necessitating a robust valuation based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of the recruitment mandate. Financial evaluation will prioritize the lowest responsive bidder (L1) or a Quality-cum-Cost Based Selection (QCBS) model, ensuring fiscal prudence and adherence to GFR guidelines for high-value service contracts.
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 IIRS headquarters. Payments will be released based on predefined milestones, such as the submission of the long-list and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of candidates provided. Furthermore, 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 ethical, transparent, and compliant with all institutional procurement mandates.
