Twenty-two Indian states have signed an MoU for making procurement through the Government e- Marketplace portal mandatory in the state.

The states that signed for the portal include Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of State of Commerce and Industry. To improve transparency in procurement, the Government e-Marketplace has been set up for providing online platform for procurement of common use goods and services by government organisations.

It provides the tools of e-bidding, reverse e-auction and demand aggregation to facilitate the government users, and allow them achieve the best value of their money.
