Officially kicking-off the procurement process for Indonesia's new capital city, the National Public Procurement Agency ("LKPP") issued a regulation containing a guideline for the provision of infrastructure and procurement of goods and services for the preparation, construction, and relocation of the nation's capital city.
In the regulation, LKPP requires any party wishing to participate in the procurement for the new capital city to collaborate with small local businesses, including on the use of local manpower and materials. Small local businesses in this case are those that are domiciled in Kalimantan or owned by an individual or community in Kalimantan, and satisfy the requirements set out in the regulation.
In addition, the regulation sets out guidelines for additional methods of provider selection, including e-purchasing of consultation services and beauty contests.
