(Government e-Marketplace)
GEM Registration, also known as Government e-Marketplace Registration, is the process of enrolling as a seller or buyer on the Government e-Marketplace portal. Introduced by the Government of India in August 2016, GEM aims to promote transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness in public procurement. It is mandatory for government offices to procure goods and services through the GEM portal.
GEM provides a fully automated, digital, and cashless system for the purchase and sale of commonly used goods and services. It offers benefits such as transparency, enhanced efficiency, a secure platform, support for the Make in India campaign, and cost savings for the government.
There are two types of GEM Registration: one for buyers and another for sellers. Both buyers and sellers need to register on the GEM portal to participate in the procurement process and carry out transactions with government entities.
GEM Registration enables sellers to list their products or services and make them available for purchase by government departments. On the other hand, buyers can view and respond to government tenders and procure goods and services from registered sellers on the GEM portal. Overall, GEM Registration aims to streamline government procurement processes and create a transparent and efficient marketplace for public purchases.
Listing of Products: Sellers can list their products under specific categories of goods or services that are commonly used by government departments and organizations.
Market place for Common User Items: GEM serves as a marketplace for buying common user items, making it convenient for government buyers to find and purchase required goods and services.
Dynamic Pricing and Comparison: Users can look, estimate, compare prices, and make purchases based on dynamic pricing, ensuring competitive rates for the products.
Online Buying and Selling: GEM enables online buying and selling of goods and services as per the requirements of government entities.
Single Window System: GEM acts as a single window system, aggregating demands and streamlining the ordering process for government procurement.
Transparency: GEM ensures transparency in the procurement process, promoting fair and open competition among sellers.
Low-Value and Bulk Buying: GEM facilitates both low-value and bulk buying at competitive prices through reverse auction or e-bidding.

User-Friendly Dashboard: GEM provides a user-friendly dashboard for monitoring supplies, payments, and buying or selling activities.
Return Policy: The platform includes a return policy that allows users to address any issues with products or services, ensuring customer satisfaction.
