DECISION SUPPORT
Check fit before choosing a service.
You may not need this route when: A business not planning public procurement sales may not need marketplace onboarding; registration alone does not ensure tender eligibility or an award.
Prepare first
- Entity, tax, bank and authorised-person records
- Product or service catalogue information
- OEM, brand or MSME evidence where applicable
COMPARE YOUR STARTING POINT
Different situations need different work.
Use these questions to frame an enquiry, not to decide statutory eligibility. Follow the service guide that matches the work you need.
| Your situation | Facts to compare | Next guide |
|---|---|---|
| Preparing a brand-related request | Brand ownership or authorisation, the seller's role and the supporting records; distinguish this from general seller onboarding. | GeM brand registration preparation → |
| Adding a product or service | Category specifications, accurate catalogue details, brand evidence and the platform requirements for that listing. | Prepare a GeM catalogue listing → |
| Exploring an OEM-related route | Manufacturer role, brand records and the specific assessment or evidence requested; review each bid separately. | Explore OEM panel readiness → |
Common pitfalls to avoid
- Seller onboarding, brand approval, catalogue listing and bid submission are separate steps, not a promise of orders.
- A prior registration does not prove that every technical, financial or experience condition in a tender is met.

EDUCATIONAL READING
Read the supporting articles
These explain a related question; they are separate from a service engagement. Check each guide's scope, source information and dates before relying on it.
HOW TO AGREE THE WORK
Clarify the requirement → agree the scope → prepare records → authorise the next step.
Confirm who prepares, checks and authorises the work, whether a qualified professional's review is needed, what fees and follow-up are included, and which authority decisions remain outside the engagement. No approval or ranking outcome is guaranteed.COMMON QUESTIONS
A clearer starting point.
Does GeM registration guarantee orders?
No. Listing and procurement outcomes depend on catalogue acceptance, buyer requirements, competition and applicable platform rules.
Are tender requirements the same for every bid?
No. Each bid can set distinct technical, financial, experience and document conditions that need separate review.
Is brand registration the same as seller onboarding?
No. Brand-related work concerns the brand and supporting ownership or authorisation evidence. Confirm the separate seller-account, catalogue and bid requirements for your role before agreeing a scope.
