Abstract

This research seeks to understand how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) work with government led eprocurement systems to implement sustainable practices, focusing on CV Mastor Computindo a SIPLah – registered school technology vendor in Solo Raya, Indonesia. As public e-procurement continues to expand globally, there is much confidence growing in platforms like SIPLah that their operational structures have the ability to enhance transparency, cost efficiency and accountability in public service delivery. Although less is known about their contribution in promoting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals especially in developing countries. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis and platform observations. Findings show that though SIPLah enhances transactional accountability and vendor traceability, it has no standard sustainability criteria. CV-Mastor Compuntido has got non -formalized ESG integrated elements such as ethical sourcing and selling of energy efficient products, despite hampered by inadequate financial and institutional capacity. The research concludes that despite the fact that SIPLah provides a good structure for digital procurement innovation, its capacity to implement sustainable practices among SMEs relies on structural improvements. Such as ESG – based vendor assessments, incentives and targeted capacity building. These findings contribute to the efforts on digital transformation and sustainable innovation in public procurement
