Guides vs blog — what's the difference?

Guides are the complete, evergreen treatments — long, structured, maintained as the portal changes. The blog carries everything narrower and newsier: specific fees, specific errors, policy updates, single-topic explainers. When a blog topic outgrows a post, it graduates here.

FAQs

Are these guides current?
Each carries its last-updated date at the top — and GeM's constant changes are exactly why we maintain them. A guide without a date is a guide you shouldn't trust (ours or anyone's).
Which guide should I read first?
New to GeM: Registration → How to Sell. OEM-facing assessment: Vendor Assessment. Already registered and hunting orders: the Tender & Bid Search guide.

Prefer it done for you?

Everything in these guides is also a service — same knowledge, our hands.
