Abstract

This study originated from the Purworejo Regency Government’s efforts to strengthen transparent and accountable procurement governance in order to maintain public trust and improve budget efficiency. The implementation of e-catalogues is believed to be a strategic instrument in realising an open, efficient, and integrity-based procurement system. Using a quantitative approach with a census method of 127 employees, the data was analysed through Structural Equation Modelling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that the implementation of e-catalogues has a significant positive effect on public trust, transparency, and accountability, while transparency and accountability are proven to strengthen public trust in local government. However, public trust has a positive but insignificant effect on procurement efficiency, indicating that the effectiveness of the procurement system and governance is more dominant in improving efficiency. These findings confirm that the implementation of a transparent and accountable e-catalogue plays an important role in building public trust while strengthening the efficiency of digital-based procurement in local government.
