Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing project methodology and a commercial BoQ, ensuring all documents are uploaded before the specified deadline to avoid summary rejection.

Participate in the commercial BoQ financial opening process, where the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price, subject to meeting all technical pre-qualification and eligibility standards.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Project Assistant ANRF ECRG project must be determined based on the approved budgetary allocation for the research grant. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract price. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with the specialized nature of research-oriented project assistance services within the IISc procurement framework.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract is governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 and IISc procurement guidelines. Disputes shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration in Bengaluru. Payments are structured on milestone-based deliverables verified by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to all project deliverables. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, preventing corruption and ensuring ethical conduct throughout the project lifecycle. Compliance with all statutory labor laws and safety regulations remains the sole responsibility of the contractor during the entire tenure.
