2. Pricing Scrutiny Rules & Landed Cost Calculation
GeM Portal price comparison pure item rate par nahi, balki Total Landed Cost to Consignee par karta hai.
Landed Price Components:
- Basic Unit Price: Product ya Service ka base rate.
- Freight & Inland Logistics: Delivery location tak shipping/transportation cost.
- Applicable GST Slabs: Item category ke according 5%, 12%, 18%, ya 28% GST rate.
- On-Site Installation & Warranty: Equipment tenders me installation & extended warranty charges.
$$\text{Evaluated Landed Price } (P_L) = \text{Quantity} \times (\text{Unit Base Price} + \text{Freight Charges}) \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{GST %}}{100}\right)$$
3. Abnormally Low Financial Bids (ALFB Rules)
Public procurement guidelines (GFR Rule 173) ke under, agar koi bidder market cost se bohot zyada sasti price (Abnormally Low Bid) quote karta hai, toh buyer bid instantly accept nahi karta.
Buyer Action in Abnormally Low Bids:
- Buyer Committee bidder se official Financial Justification Letter mangti hai.
- Bidder ko proof dena padta hai ki woh execution quality compromise kiye bina is rate par deliver kaise karega.
- Satisfactory reply na milne par committee bid reject kar sakti hai.
