Bidders who meet the Minimum Eligibility Criteria set forth in Clause 1.5.1 shall be termed as “Technically Qualified Bidders”. 2.1.3. Bidders who do not meet the Minimum Eligibility Criteria set forth in Clause 1.5.1 shall be termed as “Non-Qualified Bidders”. 2.1.4. The Authority shall upload the result of Technical Bid Evaluation on https://eprocure.gov.in/epublish/app and www.ifsca.gov.in. 2.1.5. The Authority shall notify the date, time, and venue of opening of Financial Bids, which shall be conducted as second part of the bidding process, only to the Eligible Bidders. 2.2. Financial Bids 2.2.1. In second part of the bidding process, the Authority shall examine and compare the Financial Bids submitted by the Eligible Bidders, considering the following factors: a) Overall completeness and compliance of the Financial Bids as per the instructions given in this RFP Document. b) The Financial Bid which does not meet minimum acceptable standards of completeness, consistency and detail as required by RFP document shall be rejected for non- responsiveness. c) Conditional Bids are liable to be rejected. 2.2.2. Bidders shall be required to quote monthly Lease Rent (Per Sqft Per Month). 2.2.3. The bids for the floor units having exclusive balcony areas shall be evaluated after arriving at the total monthly rental income for the office and balcony areas put together. While base reserve lease rate for office area remains the same, the bidders shall quote their best monthly rate for the balcony area in the format given in the financial bid form. The bidder quoting maximum cumulative monthly rent (office space + balcony area) shall be declared H-1 for the purpose of allocation of that specific floor along with the balcony. Page 25 of 1072.2.4. The bulk bids received for the largest pack will be opened in decreasing order of their sizes along with all other overlapping bulk bids and other bids of individual floors. After opening, these financial Bids shall be ranked based on Bidder’s quote in its Financial Bid for a particular floor, as applicable, after accounting for weightage, if any, for bulk-bidders. Bidder quoting highest Lease Rate (Per Sqft Per Month) shall be allocated the space. 2.2.5. If a bidder submits a multi floor bid, with/without contiguity requirement, then, a premium of Rs 4.8 per sqft per month per additional floor will be given for the sole purpose of consideration in deciding the H-1 bid. This premium on the Fair Rent will be added to the quoted price for the purposes of bid price comparison during bid evaluation. 2.2.6. The bids received for maximum number of floors from a single bidder will be grouped as one pack. If more than one bids are received for the floors within a given pack of floors, the quoted rate of bidders seeking more than one floor in this pack will be enhanced by Rs 4.8 per sqft per month per additional floor for purposes of bid price comparison during bid evaluation. This may be explained through the following indicative example: i. No of floors in the pack (Max no. of floor bids by a single bidder) = P ii. Bid for only one floor by bidder X is Rs. A1 iii. Bid for two floors by bidder Y is Rs. A2 and A2<A1 and so on. iv. Bid for all the floors in the pack by bidder Z is Rs. A3 and A3<A2<A1 v. Bid for Y after incentive as mentioned above is Rs. A2+4.8 and A2+4.8>A1, vi. Bid for Z after incentive as mentioned above is Rs. A3+4.8*(P-1) and if A3+4.8*(P- 1)>A2+3>A1, Then Z will be H1, Y will be H2 and X will be H3. vii. If Z is still not H1, despite the incentive for more floors i.e. (A3+4.8*(P- 1))<(A2+4.8)<A1, then Z will be asked to revise his bid upwards to the extent quoted by X and Y for those particular floors to enable him to maintain the floor pack. Z’s quoted rates for the remaining of the floors in the pack will remain the same. 2.2.7. At the same time X and Y will also be given an opportunity to revise their bids for the pack of floors as a whole. If X and Y choose to abstain from the bidding for the whole pack, they will be offered alternative floors after exhausting their financial bids for other floors at their highest quoted price among all of its financial bids only if these are still available for lease. 2.2.8. Details of above iteration will be intimated to those bidders locked in competition for floors within the pack. The decision of IFSCA in this regard will be final. The financial bids will be evaluated in the order of opening as mentioned in para 1.25.2 above and allocated the floors. If any of the unsuccessful bidders still have their financial bids for any of the floors unopened, they will be given an option to be considered for any of the un-allocated floors. 2.2.9. In case of tie of bids, the Govt. organisation, including, Central/State Govt Bodies, CPSEs, Regulators, National Public Institutions, International bodies including Multilateral Page 26 of 107Institutions etc., shall be given preference. In case of tie between two private/two government organisations, the organisation bidding for more space/units will be preferred. If the tie remains, the bidders in the tie will be asked to revise their bids in a sealed envelope. The losing bidder in this process will be offered space at the H-1 rates, subject to availability, on any other floor. Decision of IFSCA in this regard shall be final. 2.2.10. Any financial bid for a part of a specific floor space lower than the minimum area on offer shall be treated as conditional and summarily rejected. Any quoted bid is less than the BRLR/Fair Rent shall also be rejected. 2.2.11. After selection, a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) shall be issued by the Authority to the Selected/ Successful Bidder who shall, within 10 days of receipt of the LOI, sign and return the copy of the LOI in acknowledgement thereof. In the event copy of the LOI duly signed by the Selected Bidder is not received by stipulated date, the Authority may, unless it consents to extension of time for submission thereof, cancel the LOI on account of failure of the Selected Bidder to acknowledge the LOI and forfeit the Bid Security of such Bidder as damages. 2.2.12. The Selected Bidder shall pay the Security Deposit within time stipulated in the LOI 2.2.13. In case, Security Deposit is not paid within timeline stipulated in the LOI, for reasons attributable to the Selected Bidder, the Authority reserves the right to cancel the LOI and forfeit the Bid Security After the payment of the security deposit the bidder will be requested to complete the process of signing/registering the lease deed/ lease agreement within a reasonable time frame as intimated.
