The government is accelerating digital transformation in several fields, including procuring government goods and services. The government needs a system or application to monitor and evaluate government procurement of goods/services to facilitate this acceleration. The National Public Procurement Agency has developed software to monitor and evaluate the government procurement of goods/services at the ministries, agencies, and local government levels. The name of the application is the Local Monitoring-Evaluation Application. It was developed using a monolithic design and then integrated into the e-procurement system. This application manages the collection, processing, aggregation, and display of data in the form of a dashboard. The planning, implementation, and payment phases of a transactional procurement system are all connected with this application. However, because AMEL is a decentralized system, the central government needs help when trying to display a similar dashboard at the national level. Considering that the current AMEL performance monitoring and evaluation dashboard requirements must comply with the requirements in the Decree of the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform Number 1148 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of General Applications in the Sector of Government Procurement of Goods/Services, we propose to change the information system architecture from the Local Monitoring-Evaluation uses Microservices Architectures (MSA). The proposed architectural design should improve data capture, processing, aggregation, sharing, and visualization of monitoring-evaluation of data. We will use the Open Group Architecture Framework-Architecture Development Method (TOGAF-ADM) as an enterprise architecture framework. Artifacts produced from the preliminary phase, vision architecture phase, and business architecture TOGAF-ADM can help determine which business processes require IT support so that the resulting information system architecture design can align with the information technology and business strategy of the National Public Procurement Agency.
