Procurement Rules for Public Health Centre Service Units: PMK 18/2026

A 2026 regulation on Pengadaan Barang/Jasa Badan Layanan Umum Daerah Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat (Procurement of Goods/Services by Regional Public Service Agency Community Health Centres) sets out how a Puskesmas operating under Badan Layanan Umum Daerah (BLUD) status buys goods, works and services. The instrument runs to 21 articles and applies within the Kota Batu regional government, whose mayor, regional apparatus and health office it names throughout. Its subject is the internal architecture of procurement: who holds which authority, at what financial threshold, and with which duties attached.

Background

BLUD status gives a technical implementation unit of a regional office flexibility in financial management as an exception to the general rules on regional financial administration. That flexibility is what allows a health centre to procure outside the ordinary regional procurement route, and it is why a separate instrument is needed to name the officials involved and to fix the value bands within which each may act. Pasal 1 supplies the definitions, including BLUD itself, Puskesmas as the first-level health facility that delivers and coordinates promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative services in its working area, and Pengadaan Barang/Jasa as the activity running from identification of need through to handover of the completed work.

Key Provisions

Pasal 6 names the actors: the Budget User (Pengguna Anggaran, PA), the Budget User Proxy (Kuasa Pengguna Anggaran, KPA), the Commitment Making Official (Pejabat Pembuat Komitmen, PPK), and the Procurement Official (Pejabat Pengadaan). Pasal 1 adds the Selection Working Group (Pokja Pemilihan), the regional Procurement Unit (UKPBJ), the Self-Management Organiser, and the General Procurement Plan.

Pasal 7 lists the PA's tasks and authority. These include taking actions that create budget expenditure, entering into engagements with third parties within the approved budget, setting procurement planning, establishing and announcing the General Procurement Plan, consolidating procurement, ordering direct appointment where a tender or selection has failed, adjusting procedures, methods, contract types and contract forms to fill a legal vacuum or to overcome administrative stagnation in the public interest, imposing blacklist sanctions, appointing the PPK, the Procurement Official, the Self-Management Organiser, the technical team and the jury or expert team for contests, declaring a tender or selection failed, and determining the winner for tenders, direct appointments and e-purchasing above IDR 100,000,000 for goods, construction works and other services, or above IDR 10,000,000,000 for consultancy packages. Pasal 7(2) allows the PA to delegate that authority to a KPA.

Pasal 8 governs the KPA. The KPA exercises the authority delegated by the PA, and in addition answers appeal objections from participants in a construction works tender. The delegation itself is established by the Mayor on the proposal of the head of the regional apparatus. The KPA may assign the PPK to exercise delegated powers relating to expenditure-creating actions and to agreements with third parties within the budget limit, and may itself perform the duties of a PPK, in which case it must hold knowledge of procurement and of the PPK function.

Pasal 9 sets out the PPK's sixteen duties: preparing procurement planning, consolidating procurement, setting technical specifications or terms of reference, settling the draft contract, setting the owner's estimate, fixing the advance payment to the supplier, proposing schedule changes, appointing the support team and the expert team, carrying out e-purchasing valued above IDR 200,000,000, issuing the letter appointing the supplier, entering the e-contract and controlling the contract, reporting implementation and completion to the PA or KPA, handing over the results with a handover record, keeping the implementation documents intact, and assessing supplier performance. The PPK may be assisted by a Procurement Management Officer.

The Procurement Official's mandate under Pasal 6(d) is bounded by value. That official handles direct procurement, direct appointment for other goods and services up to IDR 200,000,000, direct appointment for construction works up to IDR 400,000,000, direct appointment for consultancy services up to IDR 100,000,000, and e-purchasing up to IDR 200,000,000.

Implications

The thresholds divide the same transaction types between two officials: e-purchasing up to IDR 200,000,000 sits with the Procurement Official and above that figure with the PPK, so the value of a package determines which office signs. Construction works carry both a higher direct-appointment ceiling and a dedicated appeal channel routed to the KPA. Because the PA may delegate to a KPA and the KPA may in turn assign or absorb PPK functions, a health centre can compress the chain, subject to the knowledge requirement in Pasal 8(6).

Regulatory Context

The regulation is signed with an electronic certificate issued by the Balai Besar Sertifikasi Elektronik under the National Cyber and Crypto Agency, and it sits alongside the national procurement framework it draws its terminology from, including the owner's estimate, the General Procurement Plan and the blacklist sanction. It operates within the wider body of health-service rules issued in 2026, among them Health Ministry instruments and health service regulation, and takes its financial flexibility from the regional public service agency regime.
