Push Button Procurement on Government e-Marketplace (GeM)

GEM stands for "Government e-Marketplace," which is an online platform created by the Government of India for procurement of goods and services by various government organizations. GEM is an end-to-end marketplace that facilitates the procurement process from product selection to payment, and enables transparency and efficiency in the procurement process.

The platform is designed to provide a single-window access to various procurement needs of government departments, organizations, and public sector undertakings. It also aims to promote the concept of "Make in India" and support small and medium-sized enterprises by providing them with a level playing field. Furthermore in GEM 4.0 authorities have provided new methods of procurement for low tier buyers to promote economic activities more frequently and easily.

GeM introduced the Push Button Procurement (PBP) process to ensure fair pricing and simplify procurement for small or infrequent buyers. Designed to streamline purchases, PBP is recommended for L1 transactions up to ₹5 lakh, enabling faster processing and cost-effective procurement for users. GeM's aim is to make buying easier, quicker, and more transparent for all.
