Tender is the process of bidding for a price, buying a job, or providing goods. The tender process is a long and complex business process to produce a series of legal obligations related to business contracts. The purpose of conducting a tender to the government is to support the work program by finding tenders (providers of goods and services) that are appropriate in the government procurement program. At the government in Indonesia, the tender process has been carried out using an e-tendering system (electronic tendering) with the use of internet technology. The purpose of e-tendering is to facilitate the procurement process with related parties to increase productivity, effectiveness, and transparency in the tender process. However, problems in the e-tendering system are still centralized or centralized, so that local organizations have full control of the database and the system that can pose a threat of vulnerability to fraud, collusion practices, and manipulation. The tender selection process that is full of competition must be supported by effective and transparent technology so that it does not cause fraud and suspicion among bidders. Blockchain technology is one of the solutions that enable integrated systems without a third party because it adheres to the decentralized nature of distributed databases so that copies of them are owned by many users so that each system user can take transparent and distributed control measures. This thesis discusses the application of e-tendering using a blockchain which is implemented in the form of a prototype. The prototype that was built was then evaluated and tested for its functionality and performance. This research can prove that the blockchain technology in e-tendering has advantages that can support the implementation of the tender process.
