The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is an online platform created by the Government of India to facilitate the procurement of goods and services by various government departments, organisations, and public sector undertakings. It aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and speed in public procurement.

On the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) in India, there are generally three types of direct purchases:

1. Direct Purchase (up to Rs. 25,000):
Buyers can purchase items directly from any available seller on the GeM portal without the need for a bidding process. This method is straightforward and used for procuring low-value items quickly.

2. L1 Purchase (up to Rs. 5 Lakh):
For purchases up to Rs. 5 lakh, buyers can choose the lowest-priced product (L1) from at least three different suppliers, ensuring competition and reasonable pricing. This approach ensures that the government gets the best value for money while maintaining efficiency.

3. Purchase through Bid/Reverse Auction (above Rs. 5 Lakh):
For purchases above Rs. 5 lakh, the process involves bidding or reverse auction to select the supplier. This ensures transparency, competitiveness, and fair pricing for higher-value procurements.
