Integrated MCDM Model for Evaluation of Two-File Prequalification Tender at Procurement Bureau in Indonesia

Abstract

Tenders in Indonesia are managed by the government, with each province having a goods and services procurement bureau that serves as the selection committee known as POKJA (Kelompok Kerja). The government uses LPSE for procurement, with tender evaluations involving document verification. The lowest bid prices and complete documents from three companies are called to attend a document verification evaluation at the Office of the Procurement Bureau. The verification evaluation process is typically manual and based on the working group's opinion, with no system involved. This results in unrealistic execution times, high qualification requirements, short auction processes, and poor coordination between the Commitment Making Officer and POKJA. To address these issues, a systematic and transparent auction evaluation procedure with clear criteria is needed, with multi-criteria decision making being the most appropriate method after analysis. The study on tendering and selection integration of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) using ANP and WASPAS methods, which are better for complex scenarios and provide accurate, error-reducing results, making the study more mathematically straightforward. The study aims to aid the government in implementing transparant e-procurement through a model developed by procurement bureau. This model will enable a more transparent tender process, resulting in clearer contractor assessment results.
