Selling services to the government is not an easy task for IT consultants. However, the opportunities are significant due to national digitalization and the ongoing development of the SPBE program (Electronic-Based Government System). The key to success is understanding the procurement process, preparing the proper legal documents, and building credibility in the eyes of government institutions.
Registering as a Government Vendor
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.

The government always evaluates a company’s credibility based on its address. A transparent business address in a strategic area strengthens trust during the verification process.

Tax Compliance and Administrative Requirements
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.

Opportunities Through SPBE
The SPBE program, regulated under Presidential Regulation 95/2018 and 132/2022, creates major opportunities for IT consultants. The government continues to build digital systems at all levels, from national to regional. This includes service integration, data security, and IT infrastructure modernization.
IT consultants who can meet information security standards and offer integrated solutions will find it easier to secure strategic projects.
