Direct Purchase
Be ready when a buyer orders directly, not through a bid.
Direct Purchase orders on GeM go straight to a listed seller without a competitive bidding round — we help you keep your listings, pricing and documentation in a state where you can accept these orders without delay.
What is Direct Purchase?
GeM allows government buyers to place orders directly against catalog listings for requirements that fall within GeM's Direct Purchase provisions, rather than running a full bid or reverse-auction process. The current value limits and conditions for Direct Purchase are set and periodically revised by GeM — these should be confirmed on the portal at the time of an order.
For a seller, being order-ready for Direct Purchase depends largely on having an accurate, complete and competitively priced catalog listing, and being able to fulfil and invoice an order promptly once it arrives.
Gurur Consultancy helps sellers get their catalog into that order-ready state and understand what's expected once a Direct Purchase order is placed — acceptance, delivery timelines and invoicing.
