GeM Manual

Indent

Golden Parameters

The indentor has to provide all parameters including golden and silver. If against any parameter, any value is acceptable, the same should also be indicated.

Bid Allowed Values are to be carefully checked. They are very much important.

If an item is available in GeM, the same must be procured through GeM only. For this the specifications of the items are to be divided into two categories (1) Golden Parameters (2) Silver Parameters. If the golden parameters are available and silver parameters are not available, the item have to be assumed to be available in GeM. Further, GeM has the criteria of best matching. Once the golden parameters are chosen, the sort value has to be "Best Match" and then first item is to be taken as sample bid creation.

If an item is available but vendor is not available, the item is to be purchased through GeM only.

Bid Creation

When a Bid is created, the item with right prices (if possible choose OEM). because it is seen that many vendors quote very low prices and Bid Price can never be more than Bid Value.

Vendor is to be onboarded.

Now GPA is compulsory.

GeM is compulsory.

EMD is to be applied as per GeM and not as per IMMM

Although IMMM says that SD is not to be asked for cases below Rs 30 Lakhs, the provision was framed when the SD value was Rs. 30 Lakhs. SInce GeM has changed the same and now asked for SD for cases above Rs 5 Lakhs, the same may be followed.
