3. Supplier registration management: Tender Executives manage supplier registration on the portal, ensuring that listed suppliers meet specific registration criteria and complete the registration process in a timely manner.

4. Record and document management: They are responsible for maintaining records and documents of the procurement process, including tender documents, vendor registration, bids, and other relevant documents.


5. Communication: Tender Executives are liaisons between the procuring agency and the suppliers, ensuring proper communication occurs between the parties involved in the procurement process.


6. Compliance: They ensure that the procurement process is compliant with government guidelines, rules, and regulations.

7. Training: Tender executives provide training sessions for stakeholders involved in the procurement process on how to navigate and use the GEM Portal for conducting procurement.
