The Relationship of Drivers to Implementation of Sustainable Procurement in Aceh

Indonesia has implemented sustainable procurement, which aligns with sustainability in development implementation. Sustainable procurement includes economic, social, and environmental aspects. Even though the government has issued several related regulations, the provision of sustainable regulations for implementing construction work tenders has yet to be implemented evenly. This research was conducted to see how sustainable procurement is implemented in Aceh Province, examining the relationship between driving factors and the implementation of sustainable procurement. The research's objective is to describe the relationship between the factors driving sustainable procurement and Aceh's sustainable procurement implementation. Research data was collected through a questionnaire survey of 30 respondents consisting of selection working committee and commitment-making officer at several government agencies in Aceh. Structural Equation Modeling—Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) is used as a method for analyzing data. The findings obtained from this research show that, from several supporting factors that have been identified from previous research, the relationship is positive and significant and has an influence of 93% on the implementation of sustainable procurement, except that knowledge of sustainable procurement has a negative relationship. The limitations of this research are limited to the procurement of government construction work in Aceh and the research respondents are work selection committee personnel and commitment making officers. The originality/value of the research is found in the study of the relationship between driving factors and the implementation of sustainable procurement, especially in Aceh.
