Introduction

Last year, one of our clients, a Delhi-based IT hardware startup, nearly missed out on a lucrative government tender worth ₹18 lakhs. Why? They weren’t registered on the GeM portal. They had the product, the pricing, and the capability—but not the official GeM portal registration. After a rushed onboarding and assistance from our team, they secured the contract in the second round.

This incident isn’t rare. In fact, thousands of businesses in India still don’t realize that the GeM portal registration is their key to tapping into one of the largest public procurement ecosystems in the world.

If you sell products, offer services, or manufacture equipment, there’s a high chance a government department somewhere in India is looking to buy exactly what you offer. The only question is: Are you visible to them on the Government e Marketplace?

What is GEM Registration?

GeM Registration refers to enrolling a business on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal, an online procurement platform launched by the Government of India. It allows sellers—like manufacturers, traders, and service providers—to sell goods and services directly to various government departments, ministries, PSUs, and organizations.

Through GeM registration, businesses gain access to government tenders, bids, and procurement opportunities in a transparent, cashless, and paperless environment. It’s especially beneficial for MSMEs looking to expand into public sector markets.

Vendor Assessment is a compulsory requirement on most subordinate sellers – particularly OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) – though some sellers may not necessarily require a Vendor Assessment – such as resellers and dealers if under stipulated conditions, however, all sellers must complete ‘Seller Registration’ on the GeM Portal to have their products/services listed. Subsequently, OEMs need to validate their products and services and relinquish their ownership by completing the Vendor Assessment.

Regardless of whether you are a seller, a start-up, or a large corporate manufacturer, GeM registration gives you access to a multi-billion rupee public procurement environment in India.

If you would like support, our GeM specialists can assist you with everything from the initial registration phase to Vendor Assessment.
