Construction Indonesia entered into new regulatory development after the Ministry of Public Works issued Ministerial Editorial No. PU 11/SE/Mn/2026. The rules in force since 8 September 2026 govern the implementation of special assignments in order to accelerate infrastructure development.

The circular is the latest implementation rule in the framework of special assignments that was previously strengthened through the Presidential Regulation No. 21 of 2026.

The government can carry out the construction and rehabilitation of water resources infrastructure, roads and bridges, drinking water systems, drainage, waste management, public buildings, strategic areas, educational facilities, hospitals, and other infrastructure that falls under the special mandate of the President.

The most interesting part of the construction industry is the implementation mechanism. Projects can use either single-year contracts or multi-year contracts. In the implementation of special assignments, the PU Minister can also make direct appointments in the procurement process of government goods and services.

The Ministry of Public Works and Works is responsible for the implementation of the mandate and the implementation of the mandate.

For construction services enterprises, these changes signal the maintenance of administrative readiness, legality of enterprises, classification of jobs, and labour competences.

Project opportunities can move faster, but for construction companies, the opportunity remains easier to capture when the legality and competence are ready before the project comes.
