Top item by contract value
₹10.0 lakh — largest single contract award recorded on 26 July 2026 to UP State Seed Certification Agency Lucknow. GeM tender listings do not publish estimated values at float time; this figure comes from recorded contract awards with product detail.
Trailing 7-day average: 2,688 new tenders per day vs 545 on 26 July 2026 (-79.7%).
Prior calendar day: 2,688 requirements (-79.7% day-over-day).
Monsoon quarter (July–September): outdoor construction, civil works, and some logistics categories can show softer publishing cadence in parts of India, while IT services, medical supplies, and office consumables tend to stay steadier.
Publishing on a Sunday is atypical for central-government procurement cycles; volumes are usually lower than mid-week peaks (Tuesday–Thursday in our dataset).
