All About GEM - Govt E-Marketplace GEM is an online procurement portal by the Government of India. It is created to facilitate the procurement of goods and supplies by the government officers. This website is hosted by the Directorate General of Supplies & Goods (DG S&G).

It is a dynamic and user-friendly website which is aimed to ease the process and bring transparency in the way goods & services are procured by the Government Ministries and Departments, PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) and other independent bodies of the Central Government.

GEM gives access to the online bidding process of the common goods & supplies required by the aforementioned bodies. Also, it aids in reverse e-auction (where the roles of buyers and sellers are reversed) and helps government officials optimally extract the value for money.

The system has an integrated payment system as well as an option for market search/comparison. This ensures safety while securing the best deal for the buyer and seller, both.

Another feather in the hat is the recent integration of GEM with the India Post. This has further facilitated the shipping of consignments, thus helping sellers (more than 40 lakh currently registered with GEM) keep their business up and running.
