Top item by contract value
₹38.7 lakh — largest single contract award recorded on 30 July 2026 to KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN. GeM tender listings do not publish estimated values at float time; this figure comes from recorded contract awards with product detail.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 5,296 on 30 July 2026 (+97%).
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.

On 30 July 2026, 5,296 new requirements were recorded vs a trailing 7-day average of 2,688 (+97%). This is a same-dataset comparison — not seasonally adjusted.
Demand trend
The mean daily tender count over the last 7 days (2,688) is -23.2% vs the prior 7-day window (3,501). Sellers should treat this as pipeline breadth, not a revenue forecast.
Buyer activity
Ministry of Defence accounted for about 39% of sampled requirements on 30 July 2026 (2,056 of 5,296 in sample). High concentration means category specialists in that buyer's typical spend areas should prioritise document readiness.
