the endpoints is higher than the price quoted by others. For example, it
could happen that the L1 has quoted Rs. 300,000 as the price of a CD,
while L2 has quoted Rs. 290,000 and L3 has quoted Rs. 285,000, and so
on. In such a case, the Bank will be making procurement of the CDs at Rs.
300,000 per CD from L1, though L3 was willing to supply at Rs 285,000.
That is, Total Cost of Ownership and Services concept will be used for
deciding the L1. Hence, though the cost quoted for some of the individual
components by the L1 bidder could be higher than the cost quoted for the
same components by the other bidders, procurement will still be done from
the L1 bidder at the price quoted by him.
In case of procurement of the 30% endpoints from the L2 bidder, in the
example given above, the L2 bidder will have to supply those machines at
Rs. 290,000 per machine and not at the L1 price of Rs. 300,000. Here
again, L2 will be identified based on the Total Cost of Ownership and
Services, and not based on the cost of individual items. As a result, though
the cost of the CDs quoted by L3 is the lowest in the above example,
procurement will still be made from L2 bidder at Rs. 290,000.
In case of Site Installation / Modification Services - SIS, L2 will match the
price of Site Installation / Modification Services with the price of L1 or its
own price , whichever is lower.

It can be calculated as: [Opening cash in the ATM + Amount of cash replenished] --------------------------------------------------------------------- = 2 Net cash withdrawn by customer during the day
RFP for Procurement of Endpoints with Solutions and Support Services
P a g e 40 | 120
FoS will be calculated on Daily basis at every individual ATM level wherever cash replenishment is outsourced (except days prior to the Bank Holiday) The FoS will be 2 for such instances, i.e. 2 times the cash withdrawn to be present in the ATM FoS is applicable to only those machines where cash replenishment/ services are outsourced. There shall be a relaxation on days prior to the holiday because cash may not be available from the Bank on Sundays/ Holidays. The FoS will be 2.5 for such instances, i.e. 2.5 times the cash withdrawn to be present in the ATM If FoS is more than 2 or 2.5 as mentioned above, then interest @ 12% will be levied on the excess cash found above the prescribed norm.

7 Local High
Availability
Any single server failure, should not impact the operation/ cause any
disruption and sufficient local High Availability in terms of additional server/hardware should be provisioned.
Note: This is different from DR setup
8 Capacity
The capacity of the server/hardware solution should be sufficient to cater to
the 2500 TPS (Transaction Per Second) requirement of 100000 endpoints with 85 million transactions per day while
carrying out operations as mentioned in the RFP specification. Sizing of DC and DR should be same .
Also at any given time, the overall average resource utilization of the configured server/hardware should not
cross 70%. (Note: any spike of 70% or more consistent for around 5 minutes and more than 10 times in a week is
considered to be overall utilization of 70% or above) If the utilization crosses 70%, additional server/hardware provisioning should be done at no cost to the bank to bring the utilization below 70%.

In case where penalty amount cannot be serviced through payment being made to endpoint provider/solution provider, penalty will be paid by the endpoint provider/solution provider through a cheque within 15 days from the close of the quarter. If the endpoint provider/solution provider fails to pay, the Bank may realise the penalty amount by either invoking the BG submitted by the endpoint provider/solution provider or recovering from any other payment due to the endpoint provider/solution provider. 1. Procurement of Endpoints, Warranty and AMC : Endpoint Provider
1.1. Downtime :
1.1.1. Calculation of Downtime :
A endpoint will be considered “down” when it cannot receive/dispense cash. "Down Time" shall mean the interval between the times of reporting of failure to completion of repair. "Percentage Downtime" shall mean the aggregate of downtime of the particular endpoint during a quarter expressed as a percentage of total available time in a quarter -- actual number of days to be taken into account X 24 hours). For example, if the aggregate downtime of a endpoint works out to 15 hours during a quarter, then the percentage downtime shall be calculated as follows:
15 x 100
No of days in quarter x 24
The downtime will be calculated on endpoint basis and not the entire network for the purpose of implementing penal provisions.
If a endpoint is shut down or is unavailable to the public during pre-determined specific periods as announced by the Bank, for reasons not attributable to the Endpoint Provider, such time period of unavailability will be excluded from the denominator while calculating the downtime percentage. Downtime will have the exclusions as detailed in “Exclusions to Bidder’s liability for penalty”.
"Down Time" shall mean the interval between the time of reporting of failure to the time of completion of repair. The Branch Manager of the Branch or the Channel Manager has the discretion to decide regarding the exclusions which shall be final and binding on Bidder. In the matter of calculation of penalties, Bank will not rely only on the Endpoint Provider’s report but will also cross-check the data through independent

3.7. Cash Management
Penalty for not maintaining target FoS :
“Factor of Safety (FoS)”, i.e. the ideal amount of Cash that should be
present in the ATM to prevent Cash out and idle cash situation.
FoS will be fixed at 2.0 i.e. for every Rs.100 withdrawn, there should be upto
Rs.200 in the endpoint. It can be calculated as:
[Opening cash in the ATM + Amount of cash replenished] --------------------------------------------------------------------- = 2 Net cash withdrawn by customer during the day
FoS will be calculated on Daily basis at every individual ATM level wherever
cash replenishment is outsourced (except days prior to the Bank Holiday)
The FoS will be 2 for such instances, i.e. 2 times the cash withdrawn to be present in the ATM
FoS is applicable to only those endpoints where cash replenishment/
services are outsourced.
There shall be a relaxation on days prior to the holiday because cash may not be available from the Bank on Sundays/ Holidays.
The FoS will be 2.5 for such instances, i.e. 2.5 times the cash withdrawn to be present in the ATM
If FoS is more than 2 or 2.5 as mentioned above, then interest @ 12% will be levied on the excess cash found above the prescribed norm.
The following formula shall be used by the Bank to arrive at the amount of excess cash:
RFP for Procurement of Endpoints with Solutions and Support Services
Page 9 of 23 Confidential & Proprietary
Excess cash=opening balance + cash replenished - Ideal cash;
where Ideal cash = Cash dispensed * Target FoS The Vendor shall not hold or retain in their vault more than 15% of the total cash taken from Bank on monthly basis. If the retention is more than 15%, a penalty of 12% per annum shall be levied on the excess cash retained in the vault during the month. However, there will be no FoS penalty for first three months for any newly installed ATM. This relaxation is provided to understand the dispensing pattern of the newly installed ATM for the initial period of three months.
3.8. Cash Out :
For Cash Out penalty shall be charged as under:- (i) Rs.1000/- per endpoint upto 10 hours. In case the cash out extends beyond 10 hours, then Rs.1000 for each hour. (ii) Additional Rs.5000/- if cash out continues beyond 12 hours, for each block of 4 hours. Example: If a cashout incident is closed within 10 hours, the penalty shall be Rs. 1000/- only. However, if it it is closed in 26 hours, the penalty would be Rs. 21000/- (Rs. 1000/- for 10 hours +Rs. 5000/- x 4 for next 12 hours) Bank shall levy penalty of Rs.1000 per incident, if Reject Bin full is not cleared within 4 hours The penalty for cashout shall be applicable only where cash activity has been outsourced to the Vendor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Managed Services Agreement dt……………... for Endpoints (ATMs/CDs/CDMs/Cash Recycler) Page 34 of 80
provide cash needed to be removed from past usage trends and current cash status updates and forecast future cash requirement and evacuation schedule for each cash
point.
B. Services and Deliverables:
Vendor shall provide the following services and deliverables:
i. Monitor and forecast daily requirement based on individual ATM/CD/Cash Recycler
specific past data and trend – The MS Vendor shall generate daily cash requirement for each
ENDPOINT using an established cash forecasting tool and share CRA wise, ENDPOINT
wise list in electronic form with each link branch which has been mapped for cash on
previous night or at least two hours in advance for delivery by the link branch.
Daily cash requirement shall be generated and shared by the Vendor even for those ENDPOINTs which are not outsourced for cash related activities to the Vendor.
ii. Monitor and maintain Factor of Safety (FoS) :
“Factor of Safety (FoS)”, i.e. the ideal amount of Cash that should be
present in the ATM to prevent Cash out and idle cash situation.
FoS will be fixed at 2.0 i.e. for every Rs.100 withdrawn, there should be upto
Rs.200 in the machine. It can be calculated as:
[Opening cash in the ATM + Amount of cash replenished] --------------------------------------------------------------------- = 2 Net cash withdrawn by customer during the day
FoS will be calculated on Daily basis at every individual ATM level wherever
cash replenishment is outsourced (except days prior to the Bank Holiday)
The FoS will be 2 for such instances, i.e. 2 times the cash withdrawn to be present in the ATM
FoS is applicable to only those machines where cash replenishment/
services are outsourced.

The HP ESQ ATM monitoring solution currently declares an ATM as ‘cashout’ if switch simultaneously receives ‘currency out’ message in respect of all configured/present cassettes in the ATM/CD/Cash Recycler. To align this with ADMIN balance, cases of ADMIN balance less than 25000/- out of above will be considered as ‘cashout’ for penalty.
ii. For Cash Out penalty shall be charged as under:-
(i) Rs.1000/- per machine upto 10 hours. In case the cash out extends beyond 10 hours, then Rs.1000 for each hour. (ii) Additional Rs.5000/- if cash out continues beyond 12 hours, for each block of 4 hours.
Example: If a cashout incident is closed within 10 hours, the penalty shall be Rs. 1000/- only. However, if it it is closed in 26 hours, the penalty would be Rs. 21000/- (Rs. 1000/- for 10 hours +Rs. 5000/- x 4 for next 12 hours)

13. SERVICE LIMITATIONS

service ATMs at that location, or increase their service rates to reflect the cost of providing protective measures until the condition(s) creating the risk have been corrected.

(2) ensure that the responsibilities of both parties to this Agreement are clearly
defined in the event of exit and transfer; and
(3) ensure that all relevant Assets are transferred.
3. General
3.1 Where the STATE BANK OF INDIA intends to continue equivalent or substan-
tially similar services to the Services provided by the SERVICE PROVIDER af-
ter termination or expiry the Agreement, either by performing them itself or by
means of a New/Replacement SERVICE PROVIDER, the SERVICE PROVIDER
shall ensure the smooth transition to the Replacement SERVICE PROVIDER and
shall co-operate with the STATE BANK OF INDIA or the Replacement SER-
VICE PROVIDER as required in order to fulfil the obligations under this annex-
ure…….
3.2 The SERVICE PROVIDER shall co-operate fully with the STATE BANK OF
INDIA and any potential Replacement SERVICE PROVIDERs tendering for any
Services, including the transfer of responsibility for the provision of the Services
previously performed by the SERVICE PROVIDER to be achieved with the min-
imum of disruption. In particular:
3.2.1 during any procurement process initiated by the STATE BANK OF INDIA
and in anticipation of the expiry or termination of the Agreement and irre-
spective of the identity of any potential or actual Replacement SERVICE
PROVIDER, the SERVICE PROVIDER shall comply with all reasonable
requests by the STATE BANK OF INDIA to provide information relating
to the operation of the Services, including but not limited to, hardware and
software used, inter-working, coordinating with other application owners,
access to and provision of all performance reports, agreed procedures, and
any other relevant information (including the configurations set up for the

VIDER for handling Data) reasonably necessary to achieve an effective
transition, provided that:
3.2.1.1 the SERVICE PROVIDER shall not be obliged to provide any infor-
mation concerning the costs of delivery of the Services or any part
thereof or disclose the financial records of the SERVICE PROVIDER

PROVIDER to transfer the Services the following commercial approach shall ap-
ply:
(1) where the SERVICE PROVIDER does not have to utilise resources in ad-
dition to those normally used to deliver the Services prior to termination or

rials already in place to provide the Services may be redeployed onto work
required to effect the transition provided always that where the STATE
BANK OF INDIA agrees in advance that such redeployment will prevent
the SERVICE PROVIDER from meeting any Service Levels, achieving
any other key dates or from providing any specific deliverables to the
STATE BANK OF INDIA, the STATE BANK OF INDIA shall not be en-
titled to claim any penalty or liquidated damages for the same.

in place as part of the proper provision of the Services the STATE BANK

……… month’s notice in writing, the SERVICE PROVIDER shall continue to

expiry of the Agreement. In such event the STATE BANK OF INDIA shall reim-
burse the SERVICE PROVIDER for such elements of the Services as are provid-
ed beyond the date of termination or expiry date of the Agreement on the basis
that:
(1) materials and other costs will be charged at a reasonable price which shall
be agreed between the Parties; and/or
(2) any other fees agreed between the Parties at the time of termination or ex-
piry.
3.5 The SERVICE PROVIDER shall provide to the STATE BANK OF INDIA an
analysis of the Services to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the STATE
BANK OF INDIA to plan migration of such workload to a Replacement SER-
VICE PROVIDER provided always that this analysis involves providing perfor-
mance data already delivered to the STATE BANK OF INDIA as part of the per-
formance monitoring regime.
3.6 The SERVICE PROVIDER shall provide such information as the STATE BANK

been involved in the provision of the Services as the Parties may agree to assist
