Submit the two-cover bid, comprising the technical proposal detailing researcher qualifications and the financial proposal, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the stipulated deadline.

Participate in the commercial BoQ financial opening where the system evaluates the lowest responsive bidder based on the fellowship stipend and project-related contingency costs defined in the tender.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for a JRF position under an SERB project at IISc is governed by GFR 2017 guidelines. Given the nature of research services, the contract valuation is determined by the SERB sanctioned budget. While standard works contracts mandate a 2% EMD and 3-5% PBG, research fellowships often qualify for exemptions under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided the entity is a recognized research institution or individual scholar. Tender fees are typically waived for MSMEs and startups to encourage participation. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, set at 0.5% per week of delay up to a maximum of 10%, serves as a financial deterrent against non-performance or failure to meet research milestones. All financial transactions must adhere to the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) protocols to ensure transparency and audit compliance, maintaining strict adherence to the financial limits prescribed by the funding agency.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Disputes arising from the execution of the project shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration in Bengaluru. Milestone-based billing is mandatory, linked to the submission of progress reports approved by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) may apply to technical deliverables, ensuring quality standards. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the project lifecycle.
