Whether you&#8217;re a seller listing products or a buyer floating a bid, understanding ATC is essential for navigating the procurement process effectively. From eligibility requirements to delivery clauses, ATC plays a vital role in how tenders are customized and evaluated on the GeM portal.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has transformed public procurement in India\u00a0 making it more transparent, efficient, and accessible. But with that comes a layer of documentation and compliance, especially when you&#8217;re responding to or drafting a bid. That\u2019s where ATC in GeM becomes important. But what exactly does it mean? What is the full form of ATC? How do you prepare an ATC certificate or format?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we\u2019ll cover everything you need to know\u00a0 from ATC full form, certification, and format to how to handle \u201ccertificate requested in ATC\u201d scenarios\u00a0 with practical tips for both buyers and sellers on the GeM platform.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><b>What Is the Full Form of ATC in GeM?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ATC stands for Additional Terms and Conditions.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the context of the GeM portal, ATC in GeM refers to extra contractual terms that buyers (typically government departments) can include in their bid documents. These are over and above the standard GeM terms and conditions, and they play a crucial role in customizing the tender based on department-specific needs.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of ATC as a flexible tool that allows buyers to:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add eligibility criteria<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Define delivery schedules<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request certifications or licenses<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impose penalties for delays<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specify quality standards or warranty terms<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These conditions are binding, just like the main contract, and all participating sellers must accept them to qualify for bidding.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>ATC ka Full Form (in Hindi)<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<b>\u090f\u091f\u0940\u0938\u0940 \u0915\u093e \u092b\u0941\u0932 \u092b\u0949\u0930\u094d\u092e \u2013 \u0905\u0924\u093f\u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0924 \u0928\u093f\u092f\u092e \u0914\u0930 \u0936\u0930\u094d\u0924\u0947\u0902\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that apart from the default rules already provided by GeM, the buyer can request more customized requirements using ATC.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many first-time sellers or vendors ignore ATC clauses thinking they\u2019re optional \u2014 which can lead to disqualification. Knowing the full form of ATC in GeM helps you understand:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why certain tenders have additional requirements<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which documents may be needed before bidding<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What risks or liabilities you might accept as a vendor<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, always read the ATC section carefully when you come across it in a bid document. It\u2019s not just legal jargon but it\u2019s where the fine print lies.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>What Is ATC in GeM and Why Does It Matter?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ATC in GeM, or Additional Terms and Conditions, refers to the custom clauses or extra instructions that a buyer (usually a government department) adds to a tender or bid document. These conditions go beyond the default terms provided by the GeM portal and are specific to that particular procurement.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In simple terms, ATC gives buyers the flexibility to tailor the tender according to their department\u2019s exact needs.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a department purchasing laboratory equipment might use ATC to:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask for a calibration certificate from NABL-accredited labs<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extend the warranty period beyond the default GeM duration<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specify that installation should be completed within 7 days of delivery<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impose a penalty of 0.5% per day for late delivery<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without ATC, buyers would be limited to the general rules provided by GeM, which may not suit every category, location, or technical requirement.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><b>Difference Between General Terms and ATC in GeM<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common points of confusion for both buyers and sellers is the distinction between standard contract terms and ATC in GeM. While they may sound similar, they serve different purposes and are applied differently during the bidding process.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>What Are General Terms in GeM?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GeM has a set of default terms and conditions that apply to all transactions on the platform. These include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standard warranty periods<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Default delivery schedules<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment timelines (often 10 days after delivery)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penalties for late delivery or non-performance<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are system-generated and appear automatically in every bid or order unless the buyer overrides them.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>How Is ATC in GeM Different?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ATC in GeM, or Additional Terms and Conditions, are custom clauses added by the buyer for a specific bid or tender. These override or supplement the general terms depending on the buyer&#8217;s needs.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The default GeM warranty may be 1 year, but the buyer can ask for 3 years under ATC<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery might be expected in 15 days by default, but ATC can demand delivery within 7 days<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GeM might not require ISO certification, but ATC can make it mandatory for the bid<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><b>Why ATC in GeM Is Crucial for Buyers and Sellers<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re a procurement officer drafting a tender or a business responding to one, understanding the role of ATC in GeM is critical. It\u2019s not just a formality \u2014 it can determine eligibility, define expectations, and directly influence who wins the contract.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>For Buyers: Flexibility with Accountability<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government buyers on GeM operate within strict rules, but ATC in GeM gives them a degree of flexibility. It allows them to:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add quality specifications beyond GeM\u2019s default<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demand certifications, licenses, or brand authorizations<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set custom delivery schedules or locations<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impose penalties or additional warranty conditions<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ensures the goods or services delivered meet exact requirements, especially for technical or high-value purchases.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Example:<\/b><b>\r\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A central university may issue a laptop tender and use ATC to request:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3-year onsite warranty<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISO 9001 certification for the manufacturer<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery only on working days within 10 calendar days<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without ATC, these preferences would not be enforceable \u2014 and the department could end up with non-compliant products.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>ATC For Sellers: Clarity and Compliance<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For sellers, ATC in GeM is both a checklist and a contract. It tells you what extra steps to take before submitting your bid. This includes:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uploading the right supporting documents<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting specific eligibility terms<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agreeing to all custom obligations<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ignoring or misunderstanding ATC clauses often leads to rejection \u2014 even for lowest-price bids. Sellers must treat ATC with the same seriousness as price or specifications.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Understanding ATC Certification in GeM<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many sellers are confused when they see a note in the tender: \u201cCertificate requested in ATC.\u201d So what does it mean?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s clarify: There is no specific document called \u201cATC Certification\u201d issued by the GeM portal. What this refers to is a certificate or proof that the buyer has requested under ATC clauses. This could be anything depending on the nature of the tender.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Common Types of Certificate Requested in ATC:<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISO certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product testing certificates<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MSME\/Udyam registration documents<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experience or work completion certificates<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorized dealership certificates<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance declarations (e.g., Make in India)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These documents are usually mandatory to qualify for technical evaluation. They are uploaded at the time of bidding under the appropriate document section.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Who Needs to Provide ATC Certificates?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only the sellers bidding for that tender need to upload the certificates requested in ATC. If the clause says, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cVendor must be ISO 9001 certified and provide proof,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> then the ISO certificate must be attached. Failing to do so will lead to disqualification during the technical bid stage.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the ATC in GeM helps sellers not just upload the right documents but also prepare them in advance \u2014 especially if they take time to obtain.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><b>How to Draft and Upload ATC Format in GeM<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating and uploading the ATC format in GeM is a key responsibility for buyers issuing a tender. It ensures all additional requirements are clearly stated, legally binding, and accessible to all bidders. For sellers, understanding how ATC is structured helps you interpret the tender accurately \u2014 and submit a compliant bid.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>What Does an ATC Format in GeM Include?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ATC format is usually a structured list of custom clauses that supplement the standard GeM Terms &amp; Conditions. A well-drafted ATC includes:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clause Title (e.g., Delivery Timeline, Warranty Conditions)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Description or Requirement (clearly stating expectations)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting Document Required (if any)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicable to (e.g., all bidders or only L1 bidder)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Example:<\/b>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><b>Clause<\/b><\/td>\r\n<td><b>Requirement<\/b><\/td>\r\n<td><b>Document Required<\/b><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery Timeline<\/span><\/td>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Items must be delivered within 10 days of order.<\/span><\/td>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warranty<\/span><\/td>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum 3-year onsite warranty required.<\/span><\/td>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturer Warranty Letter<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certification<\/span><\/td>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only ISO 9001:2015 certified vendors are eligible.<\/span><\/td>\r\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISO Certificate Copy<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is typically uploaded as a part of the bid creation process by the buyer.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><b>Steps to Upload ATC in GeM<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a government buyer, here\u2019s how to include ATC in GeM while creating a bid:<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Login to your GeM Buyer Account<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to Bid Creation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the section Additional Terms &amp; Conditions (ATC), click Add New<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write your clause or select from predefined templates<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save and preview your bid<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submit once all clauses are verified<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For sellers, the ATC will be visible in the bid document under the \u201cBid Specific Terms and Conditions\u201d section. Review every clause thoroughly before proceeding to bid.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><b>Common Clauses Used in ATC in GeM Tenders<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The content of ATC in GeM varies depending on the buyer\u2019s department, product category, and the nature of the requirement. However, some clauses appear frequently across multiple tenders \u2014 especially in high-value or technical procurements.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the most commonly used ATC clauses in GeM bids:<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>1.
