Further amendment dated 02.04.2019 of GFR Rule 150 provides that for goods and services not available on GeM, Head of Ministry/ Department may also register suppliers of Goods and Services.

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.
