Introduction to
Government E-Marketplace (GeM)

Government E-Marketplace is an online platform to facilitate and enable online procurement of goods and services required by several government departments (central & state), associations, and public sector undertakings in India

Launched on 9th Aug 2016 (https://www.gem.gov.in). Hon’ble Prime Minister of INDIA decided to set up a dedicated e-market for different goods & services procured by Government Organisations / Departments / PSUs on one platform.

Government e-Marketplace (GeM), created in a record time of five months, facilitates online procurement of common use Goods & Services required by various Government Departments / Organisations / PSUs. GeM aims to enhance transparency, efficiency and speed in public procurement. It provides the tools of e-bidding, reverse e-auction and direct procurement to facilitate the government users to achieve the best value for their money. It further offers various tools like change in product MRP, reverse e-auction, e-bidding, and demand aggregation to facilitate the government & sellers to provide product & service at the best of their ability.

GeM offers multiple procurement options for its buyers as:

Direct Purchase (for amounts less than INR 25,000)
Purchase from L1 vendor (for amount greater than INR 25,000 and less than INR 5 lakhs)
Bid/Reverse Auction (procurement via Bid/RA to get the best price quote)
Intent of Buying - PAC (Procurement of specific product as per requirement is also possible)
Intent of Buying Bid (if objective is to go for BID (ONLY BID) –there is no need of comparison)

The purchases through GeM by Government users have been authorised and made mandatory by Ministry of Finance by adding a new Rule No. 149 in the General Financial Rules, 2017
