This article provides an overview of procurement reform in Indonesia. This paper explains that following the implementation of democratic decentralization in 1999, the Indonesian government has embarked on efforts to ensure that Indonesian procurement procedures comply with international standards, particularly with regards to good governance and the competitiveness of public procurement. However, there is no substantial evidence that the implementation of procurement reform has resulted in more democratic procurement practices. Rather, the process of democratic decentralization has provided a political environment whereby the public procurement budget has become vulnerable to capture by predatory elites for their private interests, a process involving local politicians, local leaders, bureaucrats and business actors.

Scholars such as Robison and Hadiz (2004), Hadiz (2010), and Hadiz and Robison (2013) have argued that predatory forces nurtured under the New Order have exercised a powerful enduring negative influence over local governance, undermining reform efforts. However, other scholars have argued that the influence of these forces has been ameliorated to some extent by incentives created by democratisation for local elites to promote populist policies. Where local elites have sought to win or maintain power by mobilising popular support, these scholars have argued, governance outcomes have been better than in regions where local elites have sought to win or maintain power through money politics or the cultivation of elite networks.
