Government Resource Management System (GRMS) — Integrated Budget & Procurement

Surabaya's Government Resource Management System (GRMS) began as an e-procurement pilot in 2002 and grew into an integrated platform — covering e-Planning, e-Budgeting, e-Project, e-Procurement, e-Delivery, e-Controlling, and e-Performance — that the city has run since 2004 to track its development budget from proposal through to spending. It was one of Indonesia's earliest municipal e-procurement systems. Academic evaluations, most recently published in February 2025, still study the system's effectiveness two decades on and describe uneven adoption across departments; the city has not published its own citywide efficiency figure.
