Indonesian Government Procurement Public Policy on Disaster Management

Abstract

The unique characteristics of procurement in disaster emergency management are the main obstacle in implementing existing policies, thus requiring flexibility. Another obstacle is the aspect of availability of goods and the moral aspect of individual providers, which causes high prices. From a budget perspective, the procurement process is very good, but the implementation process turns out that operators are still guided by procurement policies for normal conditions. Regarding the quality of goods distribution services, there are problems related to unpredictable delivery times considering the frequent disruptions to infrastructure and facilities on the way. In the coordination aspect, auditors often state that there are price irregularities so that providers are forced to return a number of overpaid claims. This research aims to analyze and review; (i) the implementation of the Disaster Management Goods/Services Procurement Budget process in Indonesia; (ii) how quality control against compliance with standards related to the effectiveness and safety of disaster management operations; and (iii) how stakeholder coordination and transparency in the implementation of Procurement in Indonesia.
