Indonesia Corruption Watch analyzed infrastructure tenders in 2020 to understand how the country has been performing against the national infrastructure plan during the pandemic. ICW applied OCP’s OCDS & OC4IDS indicators and red flags indicators and this is what they discovered:

State-Owned Enterprises are the biggest beneficiaries of government infrastructure contracts with the majority of tender duration carried out within approximately 1 month.

From the information accessibility, they found that tender description was not clear - making it difficult for new business to understand what the government is looking for and for the public to monitor this process ie. over 70% of tenders did not have enough description on their tenders and more than 80% have very short tender titles. This is reflected in the participation of new suppliers with only less than 8% of the total contracts being given to new suppliers. Download the full article below.
