5. The Government is committed to curbing corruption. One of
the key aspects of this objective is to minimize Government’s
human transactional interface. Accordingly, public
procurement is being transformed by leveraging technology
such as online market places and e-tendering. The
Government E-marketplace (GeM) also offers other
advantages such as minimizing prices while maximizing ease,
efficiency and transparency. It will help enhance processes in
ways such as demand aggregation, real-time price discovery,
and prompt automated payments.
