Before starting with Earnest Money Deposit and Performance Bank Guarantee Basics — an overview of the two common financial instruments required in government tenders — EMD for bidding and PBG for contract performance — it helps to have everything ready in advance. Here's the checklist relevant to businesses bidding on or executing government tenders and contracts.
The Checklist
✓ EMD amount and acceptable payment mode as specified in the tender
✓ Timeline for EMD submission before the bid deadline
✓ PBG amount and validity period required post-award
✓ Bank arrangements for issuing a guarantee, if required
✓ Terms under which EMD or PBG can be forfeited
✓ Process for refund/release once obligations are fulfilled
Why Preparation Matters
Missing or incomplete documentation is one of the most common reasons applications get delayed with standard practice under government tender and contract terms. Having this list ready before you begin can meaningfully speed up the process.
Once You Have Everything Ready
- Review the tender for EMD amount and submission mode
- Arrange and submit EMD before the bid deadline
- If awarded, arrange a Performance Bank Guarantee as specified
- Track validity and renewal of the PBG through contract execution
