Catalog Creation on GeM

A seller must have at least one catalog in that category in order to participate in the bid. Let's see how sellers can add new catalogs to the GeM Platform.

There are two types of catalogs that can be listed on the platform.

1. Products
2. Services

Let's learn both in detail.

Before adding a new product, you must first identify the category of your product. This tutorial can help you get one.

Once you have identified the category, go to Catalogue > Products > Add New Offering Search for the identified category in the left search bar and click on the resulting category.
