GeM is a unified digital platform that facilitates 
end-to-end procurement of goods and services 
by various government departments, 
organizations, and public sector undertakings 
(PSUs). It provides a paperless, cashless and 
contactless ecosystem for government buyers to 
directly purchase products and services from 
pan-India sellers and service providers through 
an online platform.

Through automation and digitisation of 
processes, GeM has led to higher process 
efficiencies, better information sharing, 
improved transparency, reduced process cycle 
times, and a higher level of trust among 
bidders. This, in turn, has resulted in greater 
competition and higher savings.

These innovations in GeM have also brought down 
waiting times and prices for buyers significantly and 
have ensured timely payments to sellers. Its inclusive 
approach has created an open and diverse public 
procurement marketplace that provides a level-playing 
field to start-ups, MSEs, women entrepreneurs, artisans, 
and craftsmen, allowing them to participate in 
government tenders without any barriers.
