JAKARTA, (MKRI) – The Constitutional Court (the Court) continued its Socialization of Presidential Regulation No. 46 of 2025 and Technical Guidance on Implementing Electronic Catalog (E-Catalog) Version 6 on Thursday (09/18/2025) at the Court’s Building I Auditorium. On the second day, the sessions focused on technical implementation and development of the latest e-Catalog as part of the government’s digital procurement transformation.

The first session, presented by Ibnu Hamdam Muhammad from the LKPP Digital Procurement Market Directorate, emphasized that E-Catalog Version 6 was developed as a digital ecosystem to meet procurement transformation challenges. “The primary goal of developing E-Catalog v6 is to increase domestic and micro–small enterprise spending, accelerate procurement processes, and ensure transparency and efficiency in state expenditures,” Ibnu explained.

Next, Andi Darmawan from LKPP’s Deputy for Digital Procurement Transformation outlined the e-Catalog model for the construction sector. Providers can display products ranging from construction equipment and building materials to typical/prototype buildings and specific work items. “With this model, providers can showcase products such as modular houses, rental equipment, or specialized work items, offering flexibility while ensuring quality,” Andi said.

Andi also described the “mini competition” mechanism within the catalog to maintain healthy competition. This bidding process takes place among providers but is canceled if only one provider participates. “Mini competitions aim to create price efficiency. If only one provider joins, the process is canceled to uphold competitiveness,” he added.

The next presentation addressed the obligation to use e-purchasing through E-Catalog v6. Procurement officials may use other methods only if goods or services are unavailable, do not meet requirements, or providers are limited. “In principle, e-purchasing is mandatory if the goods or services are available in the catalog. However, flexibility remains to ensure effective procurement,” Ibnu clarified.

In a separate session, Indro Wicaksono explained payment stages now integrated with the government’s financial system. E-Catalog v6 is connected to the Ministry of Finance’s SAKTI application and supports various payment methods, including regional government credit cards. “This integration accelerates contracts, payments, and provider performance assessments, making all processes more transparent and accountable,” Indro noted.

Indro also highlighted the importance of using shop drawings as purchase references to avoid errors in ordering typical construction. “Shop drawings provide more accurate references than design plans, minimizing purchase mistakes,” he emphasized.

The event also underlined presidential directives through Instruction No. 2 of 2022 and Decree No. 17 of 2023 on accelerating digital procurement transformation. The government has tasked PT Telkom Indonesia with managing the electronic system and supporting INAPROC development as an integrated procurement ecosystem.

Concluding the two-day program, the socialization is expected to enhance understanding among procurement officials in ministries, institutions, and local governments. Implementing E-Catalog Version 6 is seen as a key instrument to strengthen transparency, accountability, and promote increased domestic product and MSME spending.
