Core Filters on GeM

The search dashboard provides several filters:

1. Value Slab Filter: Filter tenders by approximate financial value to match your turnover capability.
2. Date Filters: Filter by bid submission start or end dates to track upcoming deadlines.
3. Exemption Filters: Filter bids that support MSME or Startup waivers.

Best Practices for Filtering

• Avoid Over-filtering: Applying too many filters at once can result in zero search results.
• Prioritize End Dates: Always check the bid end date to ensure you have enough time to prepare your technical documents.

To review eligibility conditions before applying filters, refer back to the GeM Bid Participation Eligibility Criteria guide.
