Background NationalPublicProcurementAgency(LKPP)developedandreleasedthee-procurementsystemknownasSPSEin2008.In2012,LKPPissuedadecreewhichrequiredSPSEtobewidelyusedbygovernmententitiesincludingtheexecutingandimplementingagenciesofADB-financedprojects.ADBconductedmultipleassessmentsofSPSE,includingthelatestassessmentonSPSE3.6.in2017andidentifiednecessarymodificationsinordertouseSPSEforADB-financedprocurement.
ToaccommodateADBrequirements,LKPPdevelopedaspecialversionofSPSE,knownasSPSEICB,basedonSPSE3.6.ThesystemwasimplementedtosupportADB-fundedprojectsprocessedundertheMinistryofPublicWorksandHousing(MPWH).SPSEICBwasconfiguredtosupportandmanagetheuseofframeworkagreementsforconsultantempanelment,supporttheregistrationofforeignbiddersandprovideanEnglishuserinterface.ToaccommodatetheuseoftheEnglishinterface,SPSEICBwasmodifiedtoexcludetheuseofAppendo,theencryptionutilityappliedinSPSE’ssubmissionprocesswhichwasinBahasaonly.ForSPSEICB,encryptionofsubmissionswasmanagedinternallywithintheapplicationandallsubmissionswerestoredinthedatabaseinanencryptedformat.AdditionalmodificationswerealsomadetosupporttherequirementsofMPWHaspartofMPWH’transitiontotheSPSEplatform,includingsupportforuploadingmultiplefilesaspartofthebidsubmissionprocess.
LKPPhasrecentlyupgradedtheSPSEsystemtoversion4.3.ThenewreleaserepresentsasignificantenhancementtotheSPSEsystemincludinganewuserinterfaceandadditionalprocurementworkflowssuchassupportforreverseauctions-fasttenders.Thenewversionalsoincorporatesthegenerationofpartsofthebiddingdocument–TechnicalRequirements,Qualifications,BidValidityandBillofQuantities–whicharesupportedbyattachedofthefullbiddingdocument,TermsofReference/SpecificationsandDraftContract.AswithearlierversionsofSPSE,thenewversionssupportmultipleprocurementprocessesfor1and2-envelopprocess,multiplestageprocurementandpreorpost-qualificationbasedonthetypeofprocurementbeingconducted–Goods,Works,ConsultingServicesandotherservices.
TheSPSEsystemisfullysupportedandmaintainedin-housebyLKPP.LKPPhasandcontinuestoprovidethenecessaryresourcestosupportthedevelopmentandmaintenanceoftheirSPSEplatformaswellastestingandsupportandmonitoringofeachoftheLPSEsysteminstallations.Overthepastyears,LKPPhasbeenabletodemonstratetheirabilitytoaddressanyrequirementsofthenationalgovernmentanddonorswithon-goingupdatesofthesystemincludingtheimplementationoftheSPSEICBplatformtosupportADBrequirementsincludingtheuseofframeworkagreements.
ADBwillassesstheupgradedSPSEtoensureitsatisfiesADB'srequirementsandiftheupgradedversioncanaccommodateprocurementforupcomingADB-financedprojects.SinceSPSE'sprocurementtransactiondataandinformation(includingprocurementplan)willalsobeusedtosupportADB'sresult-basedlending(RBL)operationsinIndonesia,thedatastructureandmanagementunderthenewSPSEversionwillalsobereviewedtoensurethereadinessofitsfacilitytoprovidenecessarymonitoringandreportingtosupportRBLrequirements.

Ø ImprovedfunctionalitytomapVendorqualificationsfromacentralVendorprofiletoasubmission;and,
Ø UpdatedAppendoutilitytoprovidebettersupporttothebidsubmissionprocessestoensurecompliancewiththesubmissionrequirementsdefinedinthetenderdetails.

AswithearlierversionsoftheSPSEplatform,SPSE4.3isfoundtobegenerallycompliantwithMDBe-GPguidelinesandsupportofacceptedprocurementprocesses.Thesystemadhereswiththegeneralprinciplesforaprocurementsystem,namely:
Ø transparency,Ø non-discrimination,Ø equalityofaccess,Ø opencompetition,Ø accountability,andØ securityofprocess.
Thecurrentreleaseofthesystemis,however,designedprimarilytosupportthenationalprocurementlawsandprocessesasdefinedbyLKPPandgearedmoretowardsnationalprocurementactivityunderstatefunds.ThecurrentreleaseofSPSE4.3andtheAppendoutilityrequiredforbidsubmissionareinBahasaonly.Aswell,anydocumentationoruserguideisalsoinBahasaonlyandanysupportprovidedbylocalLPSEinstallationswouldalsoonlybeavailableinBahasaonly.
ThecurrentreleaseofthesystemwouldallowADBtoapplyADBstandardbiddingdocuments(SBD)toatenderpackageandthee-submissionrequirementscanbedefinedtosupportthesubmissionofADBformsandschedulesaspartofthesubmissionprocess.TheAppendoutilitywouldsupportthesubmissionandopeningprocessandensurethesecurityandintegrityofthesubmissionspriortoandafterbidopening,thoughtheAppendoutilityisinBahasaonlyandwouldonlybeapplicableifthetenderwasbeingconductedinBahasaonly.

SPSE 4.3 System Review SPSE4.3representsasignificantchangetotheSPSEplatformwithacleanerandeasier-to-navigateuserinterfacethatappliestoallcomponentsandfunctionsofthesystem.Thenewreleasealsointroducesanewvendormanagementsub-system(SiKAP)toprovidebettersupporttothesinglesign-onprocessandmappingofVendorProfileinformationfromoneLPSEsystemtoasubmissioninanotherLPSEsystem.
Thoughtheuserinterfacehaschangedsignificantly,SPSE4.3appearstofollowtheunderlyingprocurementworkflowsandprocessesoftheearlierversionsincludingtheneedtocreateatenderpackagefromanapprovedbudgetplanlistedintheSiRUPprocurementplansystem.
Themainchangestothesystemareassociatedwiththetendercreationprocess.Newworkflowprovidesstructuretothebiddocumentandenablesthetendercommitteetodefinesubmissionrequirementsandqualificationslinkedtodatainavendor’sprofile.AswithearlierversionsofSPSE,allpackagescreatedinthesystemmustbelinkedtoanapprovedbudgetintheSiRUPsystem.Duringthecreationofthepackage,thecommittingofficerwilluploadcomponentsoftheresultingbiddocumentincludingdraftcontract,termsofreference,specificationsandotherdocumentstobeappliedbytheselectedtendercommittee.Thecommittingofficerwillalsodefinetheestimatedpricing(HPS)bylotthatwillbeappliedtotheBillofQuantities(BOQ)tobecompletedbythebidders.

Aswithearlierversions,thesystemsupportsonlinemessagingtosupportbidclarificationsduringthebiddingprocessandtoseekclarificationduringtheevaluationprocess.
Thesystemalsoallowscommitteememberstogeneratebidopeningreportsandbidevaluationreportsfromthedatacollectedinthesystem.Theapprovedreportscanthenbeuploadedinthesystemandpublishedforpublicaccessasrequired.

Duringthereviewofthesystem,itwasnotedthatpre-qualificationforsingleenvelopprocurementwasnotsupported.ThisoptionshouldstillbeavailableforADB-fundedpackages.
Thenewsystemincludesanewprocurementfunctionforfasttenders.FastTendersallowsacommitteetoinviteselectedvendorsregisteredinthesystembasedonqualificationcriteriadefinedinthevendorprofile.Thetenderisevaluatedonpriceonly,usingareverseauction.Thecommitteewouldpublishthespecificationsortermsofreferenceforthepackage,invitevendorsandinitiateareverseauctiononclosingdateandtime.FastTendersdoesnotsettimelimitsfortheannouncementperiodnoristhereavaluelimitonthesizeofthepackage.Theonlyrequirementispre-establishedqualificationsintheVendorprofileusedtoinviteallvendorswiththeassociatedqualificationstoparticipateinthetender.Afterthecompletionoftheauction,thecommitteecanconductapost-qualificationontherankedbidderandrequestsupportinginformationtosupporttheirsubmissionandprice.FastTenderscouldbeappliedtoemergencyprocurementorotherprocurementneedsthatrequireanexpeditedprocesswherepriceisthemainevaluationcriteria.

TosupportthemonitoringofprocurementactivityunderSPSE4.3,LKPPhasalsointroducednewmonitoringtoolsthroughtheAMELdashboardwhichincorporatesdatacollectedfromtheprocurementplanningsystem(SiRUP),thee-procurementsystem(SPSE4.3)andthecontractmanagementsysteminordertoprovidemanagementandthepublicwithanoverviewofallprocurementactivityagainsttheoriginalprocurementplanforanorganization.

SPSE4.3doesrepresentasignificantenhancementtoSPSE3.6;however,overallsupportfordonor-fundedprocurementthatwasappliedtoSPSEICBisstillunderdevelopment.LKPPexpectstocompletethetransitionofSPSEICBthatwasbasedonSPSE3.6tothenewSPSE4.3platformin4-6months(expecteddeliveryinJune2019).

ADBwouldalsoneedtoreviewdebarmentaspartofvendorqualification,asunderADBprocurementguidelinesonlyADBdebarmentlistwouldapply.VendordebarmentaspartofthesystemqualificationcouldbeoptionalforADB-fundedprojects.FurtherdiscussionswithLKPPonthisissuearerequired.
Itwasobservedthatthesourceoffundsisidentifiedintheprocurementplanrecords,butthisinformationdidnotappeartocarryforwardtothetenderdetails.WiththetransitionofSPSEIBCtoSPSE4.3,LKPPshouldexamineoptionsforincludingthesourceoffundsinthetenderdetailsandtoclearlyidentifythedonor(ADB,WB,JICA,etc)sothatthetenderpackagesareclearlyidentifiedasadonorprojectforthespecificdonor.
