Buying and support

How do we buy from Star INXS: GeM, tender or direct?

All three. We support purchases through GeM, open and limited tenders, defence portals and direct purchase orders. Our Tender & GeM desk shares OEM authorisations, technical compliance statements and bid documents for your requirement.
