Introduction to Government e-Marketplace (GeM)

The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is a unified digital procurement platform created to streamline the purchase of goods and services by Government Departments, PSUs, and other organisations. Since its launch on 9th August 2016, GeM has revolutionised public procurement in India by bringing transparency, efficiency, and inclusiveness. Procurement on GeM is mandated under Rule 149 of the GFR 2017, making it the central channel for government purchases.

The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) was conceptualized on the recommendation of the Group of Secretaries and approved by the Hon’ble Prime Minister to establish a dedicated digital marketplace for procurement of goods and services by Government Departments, PSUs, and other organisations. This marked the transformation of the erstwhile DGS&D into a modern e-commerce portal for public procurement.

Developed in a record time of just five months, GeM provides an online platform for the procurement of common-use goods and services. It is designed to promote transparency, efficiency, and speed in public procurement and offers features such as e-bidding, reverse e-auction, and demand aggregation, ensuring that government buyers obtain the best value for money.

At PSP, we provide GeM Consultancy Services and GeM Training Services to help businesses, MSMEs, startups, and entrepreneurs effectively register, participate, and succeed on the GeM portal.

GeM is India’s unified digital marketplace where government buyers procure goods and services online, designed to make public procurement transparent, efficient, and inclusive through contactless, paperless, and cashless workflows with built‑in e‑bidding, reverse auction, and demand aggregation tools. Since launch on 9^th August 2016, GeM has replaced the erstwhile DGS&D, been embedded into the General Financial Rules, and scaled to become the primary public procurement channel across central, state, PSU, and cooperative entities.
