Procurement Expert Certification

For the last 3 days, I attended a training in government procurement systems. The topics mostly focused on the procedures. There are some changes with the past regulation. With the new regulation, now the procurement types are divided to:

- Goods procurement;
- Construction procurement;
- Consultant procurement; and
- Other services procurement.

However, according to the regulation, if we want to procure services we should start procure it from our internal resources, i.e. procurement through our party (swakelola). The procurement priority now is not through third party (external supplier/provider). It means the procurement should optimize their internal resources before thinking to finding the resources from external party. If we can't find the resources from our internal party, then we should procure it through external party.

Now there is no limitation value for services to be procured by our internal party. As long as we can manage it well, we can procure it with any value. However, all goods needed to support the services process procured by swakelola should be procured from third party, than could be done through competitive bidding, simple bidding process, or direct shopping.

After the training, we had a certification exam from Government Procurement Policy Agency (LKPP). The exam result will be published next month in LKPP's website. If we could pass the exam, we will get a procurement expert certificate. The duration of the certificate is for 4 years. It means we should renew the certificate through examination process again after the expiration date. In the past I had get the certificate. However, it has expired. That is why I took the certification exam again.

I enjoyed the training and certification process. With these processes, I could learn the new regulation through direct discussion with the instructors and participants. Let's wait for next month for the result of the certification. I wish you all of the participants could pass the exam and get your certificate!

Serving the Visitor

Yesterday, I had some guests from Ministry of Civil Service Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform. Currently, they are developing Government Resource Management System (GRMS). They have researched the implementation of some systems in each ministry. For example, they learned that e-planning has been developed at Ministry of Planning, e-budgeting at Ministry of Finance, e, procurement at Procurement Policy Agency, and so on. However, they never learned about the implementation of e-controlling system. As a result, they could not finish the GRMS concept. To finalize the concept, they were searching e-controlling system. They were very lucky when they received information from one of deputies at Ministry of Civil Service Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform. According to deputy, he heard that my office was in the process of implementing e-controlling system. That was the reason why they visited my office.

Research shows that workers are away from their desks for as much as 70 percent of work time. That’s a problem. Management styles born in the days of sweatshops and typing pools, based on time clocks and counting heads, just don’t work with a mobile workforce. Whether your employees are down the hall or thousands of miles away in a client’s office, if you’re not measuring by results, you really don’t know who’s productive and who isn’t.
