What GeM is

What to put in the specification
A tender for life-saving appliances is easiest to answer, and to compare, when it names the figures that define the product rather than a brand. From MM’s catalogue data you can specify:
- The model number, as it appears on the product page and would appear on any certificate.
- For a life jacket: the PFD type, the buoyancy in newtons and the maximum user weight. See PFD types explained.
- For a lifebuoy: the model, and the light and line to be supplied with it.
- The standard or approval required, and whether the certificate document must accompany the goods. Approvals MM names are as stated by MM; the register says which MM holds a certificate for.
- Quantities, sizes and the delivery destination.
What MM can supply for a tender
- A quotation against the model numbers and quantities specified.
- Data sheets for the models quoted, on request.
- Copies of the certificates MM holds (see the register), sent with the quotation.
