Procurement Advisor for Organizational Development Mentoring

Introduction
The United States of America acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and
the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (the Government) have entered into a
US$600,000,000 Compact for Millennium Challenge Account assistance to help facilitate poverty
reduction through economic growth in Indonesia through three projects: the Green Prosperity
(GP) Project; the Community-Based Nutrition to Prevent Stunting Project; and the Procurement
Modernization Project. The Government of Indonesia, acting through the Millennium Challenge
Account Indonesia (MCA-Indonesia) intends to apply a portion of MCC funding to eligible
payments under a contract for which this Request for Qualifications is issued. Any payments made
under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the
Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use and distribution of MCC funding.
No party other than the Government and MCA-Indonesia shall derive any rights from the Compact
or have any claim to the proceeds of MCC funding.

The objective of the Procurement Modernization Project is to achieve cost and efficiency savings
on procured goods and services, while assuring their quality satisfies the public need, and to
achieve the delivery of public services as planned. These savings should lead to greater provision
of goods and services to the economy which will positively impact economic growth.
Further, the Procurement Modernization Project will help support the implementation of the legal
and institutional reforms of Perpres 54, a newly enacted Presidential Decree on Procurement in
Indonesia. These regulations require that permanent, independent procurement service units
(ULPs) be established through the government, at national and subnational levels. While over 100
ULPs have been newly established throughout the country in response to Perpres 54, there remains
a need to more clearly define the path to establishing ULPs at national and subnational levels,
delineate organizational boundaries, and define roles and responsibilities of the ULPs within the
structure of the spending units. The most important next steps in the procurement reform agenda
for Indonesia are to build the professional procurement workforce, create institutionalized roles and
structures that provide sufficient authority to implement good practice, and to provide a career path
to incentivize adherence to best practice.
To this end, the MCC-funded Procurement Modernization Project will be implemented by the
National Office of Public Procurement (LKPP) through two main activities: (1) Improving the
procurement function by increasing the capacity and professionalization of the procurement
function (the Procurement Professionalization Activity) and (2) Supporting the development of
procurement policies and procedures for public private partnerships (PPPs) and sustainability
procurement (the Policy and Procedure Activity).
The Procurement Professionalization Activity includes the sub-activities to improve the
Institutional Structure and Professionalization of ULPs. This will be conducted in two phases. The
first phase, which is expected to encompass years one to three of the Compact Term, will support a
subset of up to thirty (30) ULPs that will receive comprehensive capacity development through
formal training and institutional and technical mentoring and an automated procurement
management information systems (Phase One). The second phase to last for the balance of the
Compact Term will entail a scaling up of Phase One and an adjustment in design, if necessary, to
yield the best results for the Project (Phase Two).
