Abstract

This study aims to see whether the electronic procurement of goods/services [e-procurement] can minimize the occurrence of corruption. This study used a qualitative approach located in South Sulawesi. Interviews and documentation were conducted at LPSE, UKBJ, goods/service providers [vendors], ACC Sulawesi and Yasmib Sulawesi, which are anti-corruption NGOs. The results showed that even though they had used an electronic procurement system, corruption cases in the procurement of goods/services by the Government of South Sulawesi still occurred. The evil conspiracy between the recruitment committee and the vendor or between the vendor and the vendor is the modus operandi of corruption in the procurement of goods / services. This happens because the system at the Electronic Procurement Agency [LPSE] has not been able to track fraud and potential fraud that occurs.
