Procurement strategy, contract management, and the professionalisation of the public procurement workforce in Indonesia.
I have worked in Indonesian public procurement since 2015, first inside provincial government as an asset and procurement officer, then as a commitment-making official and member of the provincial selection working group, and from 2021 to 2023 as head of the sub-division responsible for procurement advisory and technical guidance across North Sulawesi. Since 2018 I have also worked nationally as a certified facilitator, and I now serve as a competency assessor for the certification body of Indonesia’s National Public Procurement Agency. My work sits at the point where procurement rules meet procurement practice: how buying decisions are actually planned, how contracts are actually managed, and how procurement officials actually acquire competence.
This page describes my professional practice. It is distinct from my academic research, which is in development, urban, and regional economics. Where the two meet, in empirical work on competition and efficiency in Indonesian government procurement, the papers appear under Research. My full government service record, including roles outside procurement, is on the Professional page.
Translating programme objectives into a procurement approach: packaging, market approach, contract type, and timing. Most procurement failures are decided before the tender opens.
Specifications that describe a need rather than a product, and cost estimates that survive scrutiny. These are the two documents that most often determine whether a competitive process is possible at all.
Evaluation design, qualification, and the trade-off between price and value. Selection method is a policy choice, not an administrative formality.
Performance monitoring, variation and claim handling, acceptance, and dispute resolution, including construction and consultancy contracts.
Design and delivery of training and competency assessment across all four levels of Indonesia’s public procurement competency framework, from procurement officer to senior public procurement specialist.
Institutional procurement guidelines, probity advice, and drafting of organisational procurement regulations for public bodies.
