In addition to the Presidential Decree, PBJ LKPP has issued Head Regulation (PERKA) LKPP No. 13 of 2018 concerning Procurement of Goods/Services in Handling Emergency Situations, which states that in the procurement process during an emergency there are at least four important phases that must be passed, namely planning, implementation, settlement of payments, and audits.
