e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Step 1: Vendors must register active Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) on the CPPP or GeM 4.0 portal and complete mandatory organizational profile mapping before tender download.
Step 2: Prospective bidders shall submit written queries within the stipulated timeframe and attend the pre-bid clarification meeting hosted by IISc to resolve technical and commercial ambiguities.
Step 3: Bidders must upload a two-cover bid containing complete technical credentials, statutory compliances, and earnest money deposit instruments without revealing financial details in the technical envelope.
Step 4: Following technical evaluation and shortlist approval, the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) financial bids of technically qualified vendors are opened electronically on the portal.
Step 5: The lowest evaluated responsive bidder (L1) is issued the formal Letter of Award (LoA) by IISc, triggering the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee and contract signing.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement dossier for the recruitment of Teaching Assistants at IISc mandates a stringent commercial framework adhering to GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines. The contract valuation is determined through rigorous market estimation, backed by an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed strictly at 2% of the estimated tender value to deter non-serious bidders. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value to safeguard institutional interests against default. A nominal non-refundable tender document fee applies where applicable, though exemptions exist for eligible entities. To ensure timely service delivery, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5% of the contract price per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contractual compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Any disputes arising out of the execution shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters are referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at Bengaluru. Milestone billing is tied strictly to verified monthly deliverables and recruitment output. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to service discrepancies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices.
