What Is GeM Buyer Registration?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
GeM buyer registration onboards a government organisation and its officials as buyers on the Government e-Marketplace so they can procure goods and services online through direct purchase, bids and reverse auctions.
GeM (Government e-Marketplace) is the Government of India’s procurement portal. Government buyers — ministries, departments, PSUs, autonomous bodies and local authorities — register their organisation and map officials to defined roles (buyer, consignee, DDO, PAO) to procure through the platform.
Administered by the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) at gem.gov.in, the National Public Procurement Portal for goods and services.
An organisation and its users remain active on GeM until deactivated or transferred. User roles are updated as officials change, retire or move.
