E-procurement technology has been available for about three decades (around the 1980s). However, until now there are still many companies, both from the seller (supplier) and buyer (buyer) side, are still reluctant to use e-procurement even though they are aware that e-procurement can provide many benefits for its users.
Within the Indonesian government, the e-procurement system has begun to be implemented. This system is known as the Electronic Procurement Service System (LPSE) to serve the procurement of government goods / services. The LPSE system aims to increase transparency and accountability, increase market access and create healthy business competition, and improve the efficiency level of the procurement system.
