Notification regarding Cyber Security Control matrix
Please note that insecure products, solutions, and services lead to exposure to threats and cyber security breaches which affects procuring entities. Assuring cyber security as a feature of products and services require ensuring cyber security compliances as a part of procurement This will also help in building a cyber-security culture. Building awareness in government agencies to adopt cyber security controls as part of the procurement of ICT products and services, as well as engaging industry to put cyber security control requirements into practise, is crucial for meeting the objective of ensuring cyber security.
It is noted that many times due to lack of awareness various clauses, provisions, and guidelines regarding cyber security requirements mandated by MeitY are not being incorporated while making procurements by buyer organisations. In order to give inputs to the procuring authorities regarding these aspects, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) drafted a discussion paper regarding cyber security control matrix for the procurement of services and solutions by government organisations. The control matrix includes governance and policy, confidentiality, availability, regulatory complexity, audits and situational awareness, data security, application security, and network security. Discussion paper indicates the specification and requirements of different controls as well as indicative methods for verification for each control matrix. A copy of the discussion paper is enclosed herewith.
It may be noted that procuring entities may select and include appropriate and applicable controls from the control matrix indicated in the discussion paper as a part of their procurement of ICT services and solutions. Procuring entities may also consider adding additional specific controls as per their risk profile and scope of services.
It may also be noted that the adoption of cyber security controls by procuring entities in the procurement process may be kept voluntary (as best practises). However, after a year, based on the outcomes, learning control may be mandated as a part of all ICT-related procurement by government entities.
All buyer organization as well as seller/service providers are requested to note the above.

Load Based Bidding
Bids are currently being evaluated on GeM based on the price quoted by the bidder at the time of bid participation. However, there are some use cases when the buyer publishes a bid and expects certain technical and commercial parameters to be used to evaluate the price, resulting in the evaluated price being different from the bidder's offered price.
To capture detailed technical and commercial parameters, GeM has added another feature whereby a buyer can declare the Technical and Commercial Loading Criteria for Bid Evaluation during Bid Creation itself, which will be printed for the bidders' reference in the Bid document.
The selection of the Techno Commercial for Bid Evaluation will be optional for the buyer and the same can be saved as "No," if buyer doesn’t wish to go with the same.
This will be used by the buyer for the limited categories available in the GeM marketplace.
Categories where Load based will be applicable - BIOMASS and types of pumps like HSD, Screw , Fuel, Petrol pump.
Bunching of predefined categories has been enabled now for bidding. Buyer can create bunch bid of items from same category. Buyer can also create bunch bid of items from different categories if such categories are enabled for bunching by GeM. If the item categories that you are trying to bunch are not enabled to be bunched together and you feel that these are items are having same Supplier / OEM base and are required to be bought together and bunching will not lead to restriction in competition, then you may please send an email request to GeM at request-bunch@gem.gov.in for enabling bunching of such categories. Please mention exact name of GeM categories that you are requesting for enabling bunching. Your request would be examined by GeM team and if it is found that such bunching would not lead to restrictive bidding, GeM would enable bunching of those categories. This is a one time exercise and once enabled, all buyers can bunch those categories in all their future bids. Custom and BoQ items are by default enabled to be bunched with other regular categories.
The option of acceptance/ rejection of Direct Purchase/ L1 orders will be discontinued on GeM from 29th July 22 onwards. All the orders placed on GeM shall be auto accepted unless the buyer is red flagged or the order is for a freight intensive item. Only in these cases, the sellers will get an option to Accept/ Reject the order. Even in these cases, the order shall be auto accepted in 5 days if no action is taken by the seller.
The functionality for the collection of interest amount on the delayed payments as per DoE OM No.F.6/18/2019-PPD dated 3rd July 2020 is being made live from 01st August 2022, which would be applicable on all CRAC issued/generated on or after 01st August 2022. If the payment is delayed beyond prescribed timelines, the buyer will be liable to deposit interest as per DoE OM. Interests due showing in the Buyer dashboards for older contracts are being reset to zero and all future interests would have to be paid using online functionality deployed on the GeM using the SBI payment gateway.
Please read DO from CEO GeM regarding misuse of Custom / BoQ based bids.
DP and L-1 purchase for multiple consignee is not allowed. Buyer can add multiple consignees during bid creation.
Bunching of the items has been disabled for Direct Purchase and L1 purchase. For ordering multiple items put the items in separate carts and proceed to checkout in each cart.
GeM is in process to phase out the use of OTP based on authentication process at various stages of procurement like bid floating, bid submissions, invoicing, CRAC generation, Bill process, payment etc. For seamless and hassle-free transition it is advised to get yourself registered for esign or DSC based authentication services and complete all associated formalities. The exact date of disablement of the OTP based authentication will be communicated in near future.
GeM is in a process of development of functionality to deal the statutory variations of contract like GST, VAT etc online. In meantime till such functionality is deployed buyers and sellers are advised to deal variation of taxes OFFLINE at their end with due verification and scrutiny as per enforced tax rates, contract clause and applicable guidelines of organization.
Direct RA is being disabled. Please use BID to RA in place of Direct RA.
Escalation of Tickets – Please raise a ticket while flagging any issue to GeM, it helps better tracking, monitoring, and faster resolution. Further it helps in escalating it to higher level if issue is not resolved within defined timeline. Now tickets can be escalated https://gem.gov.in/gemtickets/create to higher level.
Training for registration and bidding for buyers and sellers - GeM offers self-help trainings for buyers and sellers to register and procure services from the GeM portal without any external help. The link to access these training programs is https://gem.gov.in/training/training_module.
Input Tax Credit - Input Tax Credit and Reverse Charge Mechanism feature in BID has been implemented. Input Tax Credit is required by Buyers who are eligible for Input Tax Credit on GST and GST cess (wherever applicable) in their purchase. Since they get credit of GST therefore, they require financial evaluation of BID considering input tax credit (ITC) so that L1 evaluation is on Net landed Cost to the Buyer. There are three types of sellers in this case. One is regular GST registered seller, unregistered seller and seller registered under composition scheme. This functionality is for all goods and services except services on commission base.
Custom bid and BOQ Bid- GeM strongly recommend use of category based bids - Use of Custom Bid / BoQ bid is not allowed for items for which regular category is available on GeM. Buyer can use the features of Additional parameters also to suit its requirement. Any bid created under Custom / BoQ category shall be cancelled by GeM without any notice, if it is found that regular category is available on GeM for similar items.

Re-blocking of funds - Buyers will now be able to block funds which they had not done at the time of order placement due to reasons like change of financial years etc.
New Functionalities on Services
L1 negotiation: Buyer now gets an option to negotiate with L1 discovered from the financial evaluation. In case service provider has uploaded the price breakup then service provider gets the option to upload revised price breakup after conducting their negotiations with the buyer.
MSE preference: If buyer has selected MSE preference in bid then buyer will get option to send price match request to MSE if Non MSE bidder is selected as L1 and MSE price quoted is within L1+X% (X as defined in bid) range. In case buyer has not opted for MSE preference then buyer needs to provide competent authority approval with detail of approving authority.
Minimum floor price: A new feature has made live to solve the above problem, minimum floor price feature is available for buyers to define the minimum floor price below which no service provider would be able to quote in bid. This feature will help buyers to get reasonable price offers in bids. This feature is available for all PSUs/CPSEs/State Buyers and MoD.
Online invoicing for services - In order to introduce end to end procurement on GeM Invoicing has been made live on GeM for service providers and buyers to streamline the complete process.
Invoice rejection by consignee - Once the invoice raised by service provider, consignee now has the feature to reject the invoice against some rejection reasons which will be visible to service provider. Based on the comments, service provider will be able to update the invoice and then submit again.
Provision to upload additional SLA and SOW and ATC - Buyer has provision to write or upload document files for all of above features which will further become part of bid document and contract document and service provider has to abide by that. The terms and condition, scope of work or SLA mentioned by buyer will supersede by default conditions mentioned in SLA of the service.
Price breakup - GeM has introduced the functionality where Buyer can request for Price Breakup, Format to be uploaded by buyer for the breakup of components on cost/price offered by Service Provider in the Bid. Format uploaded by buyer may be used by service provider as reference for providing financial breakup. L1 will be evaluated by system basis on lowest price offered. GeM restricts this document to be available only during financial evaluation step, buyer will be able to open this document after financial will be open.
Custom filter for buyer - GeM has introduced feature to choose “Others” option from the list of values of technical parameters in case desired parameter is not available. Buyer has to select “Intent of Buying” as “Bid” to enter the Customized Requirement.
GeM system maintenance activity is planned from 25/06/2022 9:00 PM until 26/06/2022 12:00 Noon. While we will work towards avoiding any outages, the system may be unstable intermittently. As a preventive measure, you are requested to either prepone or postpone Bid related activities such as Bid creation, Evaluation, Seek Clarification, Reply Representation and Negotiations etc, to other dates as per your convenience. Also, you may like to avoid keeping Bid end date and Bid Opening dates on or near these dates if feasible. Please note, during this period Buyers can access all previous and ongoing Bid/RA status and details from their panel.
Forward Auction is a new feature addition into GeM platform enabling integrated B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customer) auction featuring pan India auctioneers and bidders.

"Buyer Selected Non-Golden Parameters are now mandatory Bid requirement” - Buyers can now choose both Golden and Non-Golden Parameters for defining the Bid Requirements. This will enable Buyers to impose a non-golden parameter as a mandatory specification for their Bids.
All Golden parameters of the category and only those non-Golden parameters which Buyer has selected while creating bid (with values as selected by the Buyer or better than that), will now form part of the overall item specifications in Bid and will be published in the Bid document. Please note that the Non-Golden Parameters which are not specifically selected by the Buyer will now be discarded from bid and will not be published in bid and Sellers can offer a product with any of the allowed values for such non-golden parameters. If buyer want to make any non-golden parameter a part of bid, he must select that parameter and select its allowed values while creating bid, else GeM system would presume that buyer has no specific choice for that parameter and will accept any value for that parameter. No bid can then be rejected for such non selected parameter.
It is also to be noted that the values of the reference product are no longer part of the bid and only allowed values will be part of bid. For Golden parameters, by default GeM would incorporate all values that are better than the reference product's values in the bid. Buyer can select and allow any more values that he feels appropriate so that the bid is as generic as possible to attract maximum competition. Similarly for Buyer chosen non-golden parameters also, reference product's value and better values would be allowed by default and Buyer can add more values of his choice.
Sellers would now need to mandatorily comply with complete Bid specifications to proceed with Bid participation. Since bidders will now be pre-filtered and allowed to offer only those products which are matching with allowed values of Golden as well as non-Golden parameters (Buyer selected), there would now be no need for Buyer's to check or reject any bid on the ground of specification mis-match as far as GeM catalogues are concerned.
Incident management policy has been revised, please click here to view the new policy.
As per the OM issued by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance (No.F.6/18/2019.PPD), the following provisions have been enabled on GeM -
Proof of Delivery Submission
The system would not allow the seller to generate an invoice, if the delivery period of an order has passed. The sellers must also submit the proof of their delivery to the consignee's location before the delivery date of the orders has passed, for their shipments to be eligible for Auto PRC and Auto CRAC
Auto PRC and Auto CRAC
Auto PRC
In case if the seller has submitted the proof of delivery before the order's delivery date has passed, their shipments would be eligible for auto PRC. This means that if the consignee does not generate the PRC within 4 days from the date of delivery as per the proof of delivery submitted by the seller, then the system would generate an auto PRC, marking all the shipped quantities as PRC accepted. At this point, the consignee would have 2 more days to make any modifications. In case, if still no action has been taken by the consignee within these 2 days, then this system generated auto PRC would be considered as the final PRC which could no longer be modified.
Auto CRAC
In case if the seller has submitted the proof of delivery before the order's delivery date has passed and the final PRC is also completed (through the system or by the consignee), then their shipments would be eligible for auto CRAC. This means that if the consignee has not generated the CRAC within 10 days from the date of delivery as per the proof of delivery submitted by the seller, then the system would generate an auto CRAC, marking all the PRC quantities as CRAC accepted. At this point, the consignee would have 3 more days to make any modifications. In case, if still no action has been taken by the consignee within these 3 days, then this system generated auto CRAC would be considered as the final CRAC which could no longer be modified.
Supplementary Invoice
For product orders where the consignee has made some rejections at the PRC or CRAC stage, the sellers would now have an option to issue a supplementary invoice against these rejected quantities. This option would be available to the seller before the delivery date of the order has passed.
