Risk Management by Commitment Making Officials in Controlling Self-Managed Contracts

Government procurement of goods and services through the self-managed mechanism involves a relatively high level of risk because it is implemented directly by government institutions and involves internal resources and/or the community. This condition places the Commitment Making Officer (PPK) as the party responsible for the planning, implementation, and accountability of self-managed activities. In carrying out these duties, the PPK is legally bound to comply with laws and regulations governing government procurement and is required to apply risk management as an integral part of the Government Internal Control System (SPIP) as specified in Government Regulation Number 60 of 2008. This article aims to analyze the implementation of risk management by the PPK in controlling self-managed contracts. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review and regulatory analysis of government procurement regulations, self-management provisions, and government risk management guidelines. The results indicate that the systematic application of risk management covering the stages of objective setting, risk identification, risk analysis and evaluation, and risk control plays a crucial role in ensuring regulatory compliance, controlling the implementation of self-managed contracts, and preventing potential irregularities. Therefore, risk management functions not merely as an administrative obligation but as a mandatory and strategic control instrument for the PPK in achieving orderly, effective, and accountable government procurement.
