Govt picks TCS to redesign, build new version of GeM portal

Centre has picked Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to transform the government e-marketplace (GeM) into a "world-class public procurement platform". The contract will see TCS design and build solutions for the existing platform on an open-source, application programming interface-brd architecture. "That'll bring much-needed transparency and efficiency to the public procurement platform," it added.
