"ISPs can now send their offers to government agencies across the country. Government agencies will be able to reduce their cost of internet services by 20 percent if a government agency chooses one of the 27 ISPs," said Agus Rahardjo, head of the Government Goods and Services Procurement Agency (LKPP), on Thursday.
He said internet services projects will be displayed on the LKPP website so that government agencies can get in touch with ISPs directly.
Agus said he will invite the ISPs so that they can submit their offers to districts/municipalities across the country.
"About 30 percent of the state budget, which is about Rp500 trillion, is set aside every year for procurement. If tenders are submitted electronically, we can save Rp55 trillion every year," he added.
27 ISP companies that have signed umbrella contracts with the government are PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, PT. Indonesia Commets Plus, PT. Cyber Network Indonesia, PT. Pasifik Lintas Buana, PT. Supra Primatama Nusantara, PT. Link Net, PT. Jetcoms Netindo, PT. Dwi Tunggal Putra, PT. Arsen Kusuma Indonesia, PT. Indosat and PT. Jasnita Telekomindo.
