Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI)

Leading Strategic Innovation – Programme Overview

Launched in 2016, the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal quickly took center stage in India’s public procurement landscape. Today, almost all government procurement of goods and services is carried out through the GeM portal. This three-day programme on Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and eProcurement is designed to provide comprehensive exposure to GeM. At the same time, the programme will also familiarize participants with the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP). Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the various usability features of GeM and learn how to use CPPP. The programme will also feature good practices presentations and success stories from experienced GeM users, offering valuable real-world examples. Additionally, dedicated Q&A sessions will address participants' queries, ensuring they are equipped with practical skills and insights to navigate and utilize these platforms effectively and maximize value for their organizations.
