| dc.description.abstract | E-procurement (electronic auctions) aims to cut the chain of bureaucracy and make public sector spending more
effective and efficient. This paper discusses the implementation process of e-procurement in four regencies in East
Java: Sampang, Kediri, Surabaya, and Jember with emphasis on the accountability and efficiency issues. There are
two main aspects to the process of implementing e-procurement that hampered e-procurement acceleration and
raised the potential for corruption in the process of implementing e-procurement: the user (end user of
e-procurement) and the mediator [Procurement Services Unit—Unit Layanan Pengadaan (ULP) of each
government institution]. These two elements play a crucial part in the process of e-procurement that is accountable,
efficient, transparent, and fair. This paper suggests three points for improving the current practice of e-procurement
in Indonesia: first, creating indicators/criteria of transparency and accountability in the internal e-procurement
implementator; second, injecting the value and the importance of leadership and personal integrity; third, it needs to
reformulate a new system of e-government that compatible or supporting e-procurement; fourth, increasing the role
of the government monitoring unit. | en_US |
