In order to improve transparency of decision-making in the public procurement process and to reduce malpractices, the present government decided to set up an online marketplace for public procurement, a Government-to-Business platform (G2B) and in August 2016, launched GeM-Government E- Marketplace as an end-to-end e-marketplace to facilitate transparent, efficient, e-procurement of commonly used goods and services required by central and state government ministries, departments, public sector undertakings and autonomous institutions at competitive prices with assurance of quality and timely delivery.
Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has experienced tremendous growth since its inception due to its robust and evolving nature. With over 66,905 buyer organizations and 59,64,759 sellers and service providers, GeM is rapidly expanding. As a result, there is a need for repeated training sessions to keep users updated on new changes in the system and to learn about the new benefits it has to offer.
To bring greater awareness about the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), Indian Small Business & Franchise Association (ISFA) with the support of Ministry of Commerce & Industry is organizing the Virtual Knowledge Session on “Government e Marketplace (GeM)”.
