Government e Marketplace is a unified digital platform that facilitates end-to-
end procurement of goods and services by various Central / State Ministries, 
departments, organizations, public sector undertakings (PSUs) Panchayats, 
Cooperatives etc. Our Prime Minister’s concerted efforts to harness the power 
of digital platforms to achieve ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’ 
led to the genesis of GeM in 2016

GeM 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. GeM covers the entire gamut of 
procurement process, right from vendor registration and item selection by 
buyers to receipt of goods and facilitation of timely payments

GeM aims to enhance transparency, efficiency and inclusivity in public 
procurement through digitization and automation. It not only simplifies 
procurement but also significantly reduces paperwork and expedites the 
fulfillment of dynamic requirements of government buyers across all 
levels of administration.
