From strategic partnerships to facilitating high-value procurements, GeM continues to strengthen its role as a catalyst for efficient, transparent and inclusive public procurement.
Here are this week’s key highlights:
🤝 #GeMMoU
Government e Marketplace (GeM) signed a strategic MoU with the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS)—the world’s leading professional body for procurement and supply—to strengthen procurement capability and promote global best practices within India’s public procurement ecosystem.
The MoU was signed by Shri Satya Narayan Meena, Additional CEO, GeM, and Shri Ben Farrell, Group CEO, CIPS, —an important step towards advancing procurement professionalism in the country.
Following the signing, Shri Mihir Kumar, CEO, GeM, and Shri Ben Farrell discussed future collaboration areas, including ethical and sustainable procurement, addressing price–quality asymmetry and strengthening procurement capabilities across government organisations.
Under this partnership, GeM and CIPS will collaborate on capacity-building initiatives, beginning with training on Ethical Procurement and expanding to ministries, departments and CPSEs.
The partnership will also explore joint certification programmes on Procurement Excellence, while GeM officials will participate in CIPS knowledge sessions, starting with a webinar on “Embracing AI in Procurement.”
📍 #GeMinGujarat
As part of an intensive outreach initiative, the GeM team—comprising the Chief Business Officer (States) and the State Nodal Officer (Gujarat)—engaged with senior officials of the Government of Gujarat.
Discussions focused on strengthening GeM adoption across state departments and entities, aligning upcoming high-value procurements with the platform, and expanding utilisation among autonomous state organisations—further reinforcing #Efficiency, #Transparency and #Inclusivity in public procurement.
