Access to Larger Contracts: Activating the Deemed OEM panel allows you to bid for larger government contracts that require you to be listed as an OEM or a certified manufacturer. This status is important because it helps you bid for high-value and high-volume tenders.
Competitive Advantage : Being listed as a Deemed OEM provides a competitive edge as it demonstrates that you meet OEM-level quality standards without being the original manufacturer. This can make your products more attractive to buyers who need reliable, high-quality supplies.
Increased Trust : The OEM panel status builds trust among government buyers, as it confirms that your products meet the required quality and technical specifications set by the government.
Registration Process : To activate Deemed OEM status, you must submit a self-certification or third-party proof that your product is manufactured to OEM specifications. This may include testing results, certifications, and technical documentation. In some cases, you may need to submit proof of partnership with original manufacturers if you are reselling their products.
Fees : There are no specific fees for activating Deemed OEM status on GeM, but it may incur additional costs if you need third-party certification or product testing to meet OEM standards.
Validity : Once your Deemed OEM status is approved, it remains valid for as long as your products continue to meet the standards set by the OEM. If you make significant changes to your product, a re-evaluation may be necessary. You must update your profile regularly to maintain this status.
