Overview
What is GeM Registration?
The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is the national online procurement platform used by central and state government departments, public sector undertakings and other government bodies.
Sellers register on GeM, verify their business details and bank account, and list products or services in the right categories. Buyers then purchase directly, compare offers, or run bids and reverse auctions depending on the order value and category.
Winning on GeM depends on accurate listings, competitive pricing, correct documentation and timely responses to bids.
