The primary step of seller registration on the GeM portal is account creation. Registration on GeM should be done only by an Authorized Person (Director of the Organization or a Key Person/Proprietor). Sellers can sign up on GeM through the Aadhaar or PAN Card of Key person of the organization.
Company Profile is divided into 4 main sections, which are mandatory to complete - PAN Validation, Company Details, Office Location and Bank Account. There are 3 other optional sections also - MSE, Startup and Tax Assessment. After updating the profile, caution money payment has to be made according to the turnover.
After the caution money payment, sellers must apply for Vendor Assessment on GeM to get the OEM certificate. GeM Vendor Assessment is mandatory for sellers who want to participate in the public procurement of Q1 and Q2 categories of products. Manufacturers must become OEMS irrespective of the category of products they want to sell on the GeM Portal. Vendor Assessment for GeM is carried out by the Quality Council of India (QCI).
After becoming an OEM on GeM, vendors can list their brands in the relevant category of products and services. Vendors can list their brands whether trademark registered, the brand owner but trademark not registered or unbranded products.
After brand listing, the dealers, manufacturers, and service providers have to list their products & services on the GeM portal. This process is called Product Listing on Government e-Marketplace. The products and services of the sellers/vendors will go live on the GeM website after the GeM Authority approves the listing.
After listing products and services, sellers can participate in bids and accept orders on GeM. OEMs can appoint or authorize resellers to list their products and services after getting approval.
