TIM Revitalization Proven To Be Conspiracy, Tender Winner Fined IDR 27 Billion

The Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) has decided that it has been proven that there has been a conspiracy to revitalize Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) by PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) with the winner of the construction tender.

This was revealed in the decision numbered 17/KPPU-L/2022 which was read out on July 18, 2023. The parties found guilty were the executor of the tender PT Jakpro as reported I, PT Pembangunan Perumahan (Persero) as reported II, and PT Jaya Konstruksi Manggala Pratama as Report III.

Meanwhile, reported II and reported III participated in the tender as an operational cooperation or consortium (KSO) PP-JAKON. The sanctions are that the two tender-winning companies will be fined a total of Rp27 billion.

"For the violations committed, the Commission Council imposed a fine of Rp. 16,800,000,000 to PT Pembangunan Perumahan (Persero) Tbk, and Rp. 11,200,000,000 to PT Jaya Konstruksi Manggala Pratama Tbk," wrote the KPPU statement, quoted Friday, July 21.

Initially, KPPU received a public report involving the conspiracy to tender the revitalization of TIM stage 3. There were 5 participants who included bidding documents, namely PT Waskita Karya, KSO PP-JAKON, PT Wijaya Karya Bangunan Bangunan, PT Adhi Karya, and PT Hutama Karya.

Then, PT Wijaya Karya was declared the winner of the tender. However, on June 21, 2021, the Director of Human Resources and General Affairs of PT Jakpro did not approve the tender results and asked for a re-tender.

So that in the second tender conducted on August 16, 2021, Jakpro appointed KSO PP-JAKON as the winner of the tender. From this condition, KPPU assessed that there had been an attempt to conspiracy the tender.

"The action of Reported I (Jakpro) which canceled the tender without being based on legal and accountable justification, proves that the cancellation of the tender was deliberately carried out by Reported I as a form of act to facilitate Reported II and Reported III (KSO) to win the a quo tender," he explained.
