2. As per the instructions contained in OM No.F.18/3/2017-PPD dated 25.07.2017 by


Department of Expenditure, it has been clearly stipulated that while publishing any Bid for
procurement through Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP), procuring entities are
required to give an undertaking that category of goods/ services being tendered/ procured
is not available on GeM and they have no objection in providing this information for making
available such products/ services in GeM.

3. In view of the above provisions of GFR, the procurement of common use goods and
services by Ministries or Departments through GeM is mandatory for Goods or Services for
which product/service categories are available on GeM.

4. In order to effectively implement the above provisions, a functionality for generating


“GeM Availability Report & Past Transaction Summary” is being made available on GeM. This
would greatly help and benefit the Buyers and Competent Authorities in taking informed
procurement decisions in respect of availability of a product/service on GeM along-with
necessary details relating to past transaction summary.

5. With effect from 01.07.2020, when the above functionality will be deployed on GeM, it
will be mandatory for a buyer to generate a “GeM Availability Report and Past Transaction
Summary” (GeMAR&PTS) with a unique ID on GeM portal using his login credentials on GeM
for procurement outside GeM. The Past Transaction Summary will be provided, wherever
available. “GeMAR&PTS” shall be a pre-requisite for arriving at a decision by the competent
authority for procurement of required goods and services by floating a bid outside GeM and
its unique ID would be required to be furnished on the publishing portal along with the
tender proposed to be published.

6. However, in case it is not possible to extract GeMAR&PTS report due to urgency and non-
functioning of GeM at that time or due to non availability of internet connection, screenshots
in such cases shall be placed in procurement files, along with details of reasons/
circumstances. Further, in these circumstances, furnishing of unique ID on publishing portal
will not be insisted.

7. This issues with the approval of Secretary (Expenditure).
