Retainership Services —
Your GeM Revenue Engine,
Managed Month to Month

The timeline depends on your starting point. For sellers with an existing GeM account that is simply underoptimised — incomplete listings, unmonitored bids, suboptimal pricing — improvements are typically visible within 30–60 days: increased listing views, first bid submissions through the monitoring service, and improved seller rating from better order management. For sellers starting from near-zero (registered but no orders), the first 45 days are primarily setup — audit, strategy, catalogue optimisation, demand analysis — and meaningful order flow typically begins in months 2–3. For sellers already generating revenue who want to scale, the growth strategy's 90-day plan targets measurable percentage improvements in order value — typically 30–60% revenue increase in the first quarter for accounts with significant untapped potential. TaxClue sets specific targets before engagement and measures against them monthly. If the account is not improving on measurable metrics by month 3, we diagnose why and adjust — not just continue executing the same plan.

Yes — a hybrid model works well for many larger clients. The most common configuration is: your internal team handles order fulfilment, logistics, and buyer communication, while TaxClue manages the strategic, compliance, and bidding layers — bid alert monitoring, strategy advisory, RA support, monthly compliance review, and catalogue optimisation. This avoids duplication while ensuring the functions that require specialist GeM knowledge are handled by people who work across hundreds of GeM accounts simultaneously and see market patterns your internal team cannot. If you have an internal person who wants to develop GeM expertise, TaxClue can also work in a mentoring-alongside model — your team member shadows and participates in the retainer work while developing independent capability over 6–12 months. The engagement scope and pricing are customised for hybrid arrangements. Contact us to discuss your specific team setup.

The coverage depends on the retainer plan, but at the Professional level and above, monitoring covers: GeM Bids and Reverse Auctions (all categories matching your profile), CPPP/NIC Tender Portal (Central Government tenders published across all ministries), and the major PSU portals — ONGC, BHEL, NTPC, IOCL, SAIL, HAL, and Railways IREPS. Enterprise plans add Defence procurement (MoD/DDP), state government tender portals for your target states, and DRDO/DST portals where relevant. Each alert is pre-filtered by your product categories, specification keywords, geographic serviceable area, and order value range — so you receive only actionable alerts, not a flood of irrelevant tenders. Alerts for GeM are typically delivered within 2 hours of publication; PSU portal alerts within the same business day. For RAs already scheduled (visible in advance on the GeM calendar), TaxClue alerts you 72 hours before the RA opens, giving you full preparation time for cost modelling and opening strategy.

This is precisely one of the highest-value outputs of the Product Demand Analysis and Growth Strategy services. Many sellers list only the products they directly manufacture and leave significant adjacent demand uncaptured. TaxClue's demand analysis identifies high-demand GeM categories where your existing procurement relationships (vendors, trading partners, manufacturers whose products you already distribute) could extend your catalogue without meaningful investment. The analysis looks at: (1) demand volume in categories adjacent to your current listings; (2) whether GeM's seller requirements for those categories allow trading/distribution or require manufacturer status; (3) what certifications, if any, would be needed to list in those categories; and (4) price band competitiveness — can you source from your vendor at a landed cost that allows competitive pricing in the active order band. The output is a ranked shortlist of 3–5 new product opportunities with expected demand volume, listing requirements, and estimated revenue potential — actionable enough to make a sourcing decision from.

All TaxClue retainer plans are month-to-month with a 30-day notice period for cancellation. There is no minimum commitment period, no lock-in fee, and no cancellation penalty. We recommend a minimum 3-month trial to allow the strategy to move through the initial audit, setup, and first measurable results cycle — but this is a recommendation, not a contractual requirement. In practice, most clients who engage for a quarter continue — because the monitoring, compliance, and bid submission services generate ongoing value that is immediately visible when they stop. If you pause the retainer and later want to resume, TaxClue re-onboards you without a new setup fee — your account history and preferences are retained. The 30-day notice period exists to allow for orderly handover of any open bids, pending orders, and in-progress compliance actions to you or a new manager — not as a financial barrier to exit.
