EFFECTIVENESS OF GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT OF GOODS AND SERVICES THROUGH ELECTRONIC CATALOGUE (Study in the Jurisdiction of the Denpasar High Court)

Abstract

Government procurement of goods and services (PBJP) is a vital element in public and development activities that has the potential to lead to inefficiency, abuse, or corruption if not managed properly. PBJP reform through electronic catalogs (e-catalogs) aims to support the principles of good governance. This study aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of government procurement of goods and services through electronic catalogs from the perspective of general principles of good governance in the jurisdiction of the Denpasar High Court. The study uses an empirical legal approach with a focus on social facts and legal phenomena in society. Data were collected through interviews with informants (budget users, commitment-making officials, procurement officials, supplier selection working groups) and questionnaires with respondents, as well as secondary data searches such as laws and literature. The findings indicate that the e-catalog regulation has provided sufficient legal certainty (93% of respondents stated that the regulation is clear), but there is still a need for additional technical guidelines. Human resource competency was considered adequate by 77% of respondents, although 23% noted limited digital literacy. The majority of respondents (82%) were satisfied with price transparency, but only 64% were satisfied with product variety. Technical obstacles such as network disruptions and platform performance were also identified. The implementation of PBJP through an electronic catalog at the Denpasar High Court is supported by a strong legal basis, but has not yet reached optimal levels due to obstacles such as uneven understanding among officials, limited variety and specifications of goods/services, and technical system constraints
