Water resources activities that use E-Purchasing through electronic catalogs begin with the procurement of goods and the installation of waterways in the Greater Jakarta area. However, for reservoir/retention basin development, which is implemented through tender or self-management mechanisms, the procurement of construction services via provider selection—such as tenders—has been criticized in recent years for appearing to prioritize the lowest price. In response, the Water Resources Office, in the 2022 Fiscal Year, initiated several reservoir/small lake/retention basin developments using the E-Purchasing mechanism through the local electronic catalog provided by the GREATER Jakarta Provincial Goods/Services Procurement Service Agency. The adoption of the E-Purchasing method via electronic construction catalogs for reservoir/retention basin construction is a new approach, which has encountered numerous challenges during provider selection and activity implementation. To ensure the selection of capable service providers for construction contracts, it is essential to identify the dominant factors influencing Commitment-Making Officer/Budget User in selecting providers for reservoir/small lake/retention basin development construction works using the E-Purchasing method through catalogs. The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the most dominant factors affecting the selection of providers for reservoir/retention basin construction works at the Greater Jakarta Provincial Water Resources Office using the E-Purchasing method via electronic catalogs. This study employs a quantitative research method, with data collected through research instruments such as questionnaires and interviews. Data processing is conducted using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) application to perform tests on questionnaire validity, questionnaire reliability, normality, correlation, classical assumptions, and factor analysis. The results include the formation of selection factors for providers using the E-Purchasing procurement method via electronic catalogs for reservoir/small lake/retention basin development and the identification of dominant factors influencing the selection of providers under this method.
