The first step is registering your company with SIKaP (Provider Performance Information System) and LPSE (Electronic Procurement Service). The process includes online registration and offline verification by presenting original documents at the LPSE office. Without official vendor status, companies cannot participate in government tenders.

Company Legal Requirements

To participate in tenders, IT consultants must have complete legal documentation:

  • Deed of establishment legalized by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights
  • Company Tax ID (NPWP) and Business Identification Number (NIB)
  • Company domicile certificate
  • Financial statements and proof of tax compliance

If you don’t yet have a legal business entity, use PT Incorporation Services from vOffice. A bonus virtual office will help you establish a legal business address from the start.

In addition to legality, complete tax compliance is mandatory. The government only accepts service providers that are tax-compliant. Annual tax returns, financial reports, and proof of tax obligations must be well-prepared.

To avoid obstacles, use vOffice Tax Consulting Services to help you prepare tax documents according to government tender standards.

Certifications and Standards

ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications add value in IT tenders. In addition, a Non-Construction Business License (SBU) in information technology is required for companies to be categorized correctly in procurement.
