The [[e-Catalog]] of the Indonesian government's [[LKPP]] national procurement agency is an electronic marketplace that provides a single source for government agencies to purchase goods and services. It was launched in 2014 and has since become the primary procurement platform for the Indonesian government.
The e-Catalog features a wide range of goods and services, including office supplies, construction materials, IT equipment, and food and beverages. All products and services listed on the e-Catalog must meet certain quality and price standards.
The e-Catalog is a web-based platform that is accessible to all government agencies. To purchase goods or services from the e-Catalog, agencies must first create an account and register their procurement needs. Once a need has been registered, agencies can browse the e-Catalog to find products or services that meet their requirements.
When an agency finds a product or service that they want to purchase, they can submit a purchase order. The purchase order is then sent to the supplier, who is responsible for delivering the goods or services to the agency.
The e-Catalog has a number of benefits for government agencies, including:
- Increased transparency and efficiency in the procurement process
- Reduced costs
- Improved access to quality goods and services
- Increased competition among suppliers
- Enhanced compliance with procurement regulations
The e-Catalog is a valuable tool for government agencies that are looking to improve their procurement processes. It is a secure and reliable platform that provides a single source for purchasing goods and services.
Here are some additional information about the e-Catalog:
- It is managed by the [[Lembaga Kebijakan Pengadaan Barang-Jasa Pemerintah]] ([[LKPP]]), which is the Indonesian government's national procurement agency.
- The e-Catalog is updated on a regular basis to reflect the latest products and services available.
- There are a number of different ways to search for products and services on the e-Catalog, including by keyword, category, and supplier.
- Agencies can also request quotes from suppliers directly through the e-Catalog.
# e-Catalog on Blockchain
In 2022, LKPP decided to try out a Proof-of-Concept project on using Blockchain to make [[e-Catalog]] more transparent and technically immutable/tampor-proof. The announcement on CNN of such intent is [here](https://www.cnnindonesia.com/ekonomi/20220525094606-92-800916/lkpp-bakal-gunakan-blockchain-untuk-pengadaan-barang-pemerintah), and a recognition of the success of the proof-of-concept project is [here](https://economy.okezone.com/read/2023/03/20/320/2784327/luhut-tantang-ahli-it-indonesia-bereskan-27-ribu-aplikasi-pemerintah-bisa).
