GEM Portal Registration

The Government e-marketplace, or GeM, is a portal maintained by the central government of India for the acquisition of products and services by government entities. Public procurement has long been an important aspect of government operations. The government’s goal in implementing GeM was to improve openness and effectiveness in procurement contracts. GeM delivers e-bidding, reversing e-auction, and demands gathering technologies to help government customers get the most bangs for their buck. Sole proprietors, associations, limited liability partnering, private companies, public corporations, overseas subsidiary companies, and other organisations can enrol their businesses on the GeM portal.

The Committee of Secretaries has offered a proposal to the Honourable Prime Minister of India, and the result of the proposal was the formation of a Government E-Marketplace. The Government E-Marketplace is continuously being built, and the Directorate General of Supplies and Disposals and the National e-Governance Division of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology assess it on regular bases. In the initial phase, the GeM pilot program begins from the Central Government Bodies and CPSUs in Delhi/NCR. The site has been expanding to other regions of the nation by using best practices and lessons learned.

 

If you want to buy something from the Government E-Marketplace, you can do it with the aid of a central government-approved agent. / state government / undertakings of the public sector/ independent entities. To enrol in the GeM portal, one must provide different information, and these are as follows:

  • Aadhar Card Number
  • Contact Information
  • E-mail id
  • Signature using digital means (Class 3)
  • One should produce a letter of permission from the appropriate department in which they are purchasing
