The procurement of communications consulting services within the Indonesian government is subject to specific rules. Unlike general goods, consulting services cannot be procured through e-purchasing via an electronic catalog, in accordance with Article 38, Paragraph 2 of Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2021. This article guides procurement officials and prospective providers in understanding the proper procedures.

Consulting Services Procurement Process

Communication consulting services are generally awarded through a tender or selection process based on the value of the contract. The listings for consulting services in the electronic catalog will be taken down by LKPP because there is currently no legal basis for e-procurement transactions.

General Requirements for Providers

Communication consulting service providers wishing to serve the government must meet the following requirements:

  • Have an SPSE account on the LPSE.

  • Have an NIB, NPWP, and company articles of incorporation.

  • Have an integrity pact and a completed qualification form.

  • Have a SIUP or relevant business license.

  • Have a portfolio and references for similar projects.

Required Documents

  • Company profile and organizational structure.

  • List of experts with resumes and certifications.

  • Project portfolio for the past three years.

  • Audited financial statements.

  • SISO certificates or relevant professional certifications.

Strategies for Winning Tenders for Communication Services

  • Understand the technical requirements outlined in the terms of reference.

  • Develop a specific, rather than generic, methodology.

  • Showcase your track record on similar projects.

  • Offer a reasonable price with transparent details.

  • Include a risk mitigation plan and quality assurance measures.
