<![CDATA[This article examines the problem of corruption in public procurement in Indonesia by assessing the effectiveness of e-procurement policies in closing corruption loopholes and strengthening bureaucratic integrity from the perspective of siyasah shar’iyyah. Indonesia Corruption Watch recorded 1,189 corruption cases in public procurement between 2019 and 2023, resulting in state losses of IDR 47.18 trillion. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach through an analysis of findings from the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK) and the National Public Procurement Agency (LKPP) concerning fictitious procurement. The findings indicate that although e-procurement has improved procedural transparency, it has not been able to eliminate structural corruption. Three major weaknesses are identified: collusion between public officials and suppliers outside the digital system, regulatory loopholes arising from Presidential Regulation No. 46 of 2025, which expands the threshold for direct appointment, and weak ethical and moral accountability among bureaucratic actors. From the perspective of siyasah shar’iyyah, the principles of amanah, hisbah, and maslahah emphasize the importance of integrating technical reform, institutional oversight, law enforcement, and the internalization of moral and spiritual values. Therefore, e-procurement needs to be complemented by a siyasah-based integrity system to establish transparent, accountable, and public-welfare-oriented procurement governance]]>
