Peraturan Rektor Nomor 8 Tahun 2023 Tentang Pengadaan Barang dan Jasa dari Dana Selain APBN
Universitas Diponegoro demonstrates a firm commitment to sustainability through its procurement practices as outlined in Peraturan Rektor Nomor 8 Tahun 2023 tentang Pengadaan Barang dan Jasa dari Dana Selain APBN. The regulation mandates that procurement (PBJ) should aim not only for efficiency and effectiveness in spending but also uphold principles of sustainability throughout the entire lifecycle of goods and services. Article 6, Paragraph (1), Point g explicitly requires the use of sustainable goods and services, which are defined as products that consider not only economic value but also environmental and social impacts. This life-cycle approach ensures that procurement decisions are informed by a broader vision of long-term benefits and responsible resource use, supporting the university’s role in advancing sustainable development goals (SDGs).
To operationalize this sustainability agenda, the policy emphasizes the prioritization of locally produced and environmentally responsible goods. Article 6, Paragraph (1), Point h strengthens the preference for domestic products by promoting items with high Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN), Bobot Manfaat Perusahaan (BMP), and those adhering to the Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI). These criteria incentivize suppliers that demonstrate social responsibility—such as empowering micro, small, and cooperative enterprises, practicing occupational health and safety, supporting local community development, and providing post-sale services. Furthermore, procurement is encouraged to favor research-based innovations and outputs developed by internal university units (SUKPA and Unit Usaha Undip), thereby promoting a circular economy model within the institution.
Additionally, the policy embeds sustainability principles into its core procurement ethics and procedures. As outlined in Article 7, the university upholds procurement principles of transparency, accountability, fairness, competition, and best value for money. Notably, the principle of best value for money integrates sustainability by requiring a balanced consideration of cost, quality, and environmental impact. Ethical guidelines in Article 8 further ensure that all procurement actors are bound to integrity, professionalism, and impartiality—prohibiting corrupt practices and emphasizing public accountability. Collectively, these provisions create a robust institutional framework that aligns university procurement with global standards for sustainable and responsible governance.
