The GeM portal is a one-stop solution for common-use goods and services procurement by Government Offices to make the public procurement process more transparent, user-friendly, self-sustaining, and dynamic. Since its launch in 2016 to date, the technology-driven platform has transformed the way government ministries, agencies, PSUs, and apex autonomous bodies procure such goods and services in a paperless and cashless e-marketplace that is technologically supported by the National e-Governance Division under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
