Legal Review of the Mechanism for Implementing Procurement of Goods and Services from the Perspective of Legal Certainty (Research Study at Natuna Police)

Abstract

Government procurement of goods and services is one of the important aspects in state financial governance that must be implemented based on the principles of efficiency, transparency, accountability, and legal certainty. In the Polri environment, especially in border areas such as the Natuna Police, the implementation of procurement mechanisms often faces complex regulatory and operational challenges. This study aims to analyze the mechanism for implementing procurement of goods and services at the Natuna Police from the perspective of legal certainty, identify the obstacles faced, and formulate strengthening efforts that can be made to encourage procurement governance in accordance with the principles of the rule of law and good governance. The research method used is empirical juridical, with a statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. Data were obtained through legal document studies, direct observation, in-depth interviews with procurement officials, and analysis of procurement implementation practices at the Natuna Police. This study recommends reform of procurement governance within the National Police that is oriented towards legal certainty, as well as the need for active involvement of the government and the community in encouraging transparency and accountability in the procurement of goods and services.
