Case study: the most common types of public procurement in the municipalities of Lizarda and Santa Maria do Tocantins

Abstract

Bidding is the formal administrative procedure in which the Public Administration convenes, under conditions established in its own act (notice or invitation), companies interested in submitting proposals for the offer of goods and services. Law No. 8,666 of 1993, when regulating article 37, item XXI, of the Federal Constitution, established general rules on bids and administrative contracts pertinent to works, services, including publicity, purchases, divestitures and leases within the scope of the Powers of the Union, Of the States, of the Federal District and of the Municipalities. Faced with this, this study questioned: how do municipalities work to ensure transparency and economics in the bidding processes and what are the most applied modalities? To answer this question, it was established as a general objective to identify if the municipalities of Lizarda and Santa Maria do Tocantins execute the modalities of bidding without expense fractionation, and as specific objectives: to identify how municipalities work for transparency and economy in the processes Of bidding, and if they practice the bidding modalities without fractioning of expenses according to Law 8.666 / 93 and 10.520 / 2002, present the types of bidding modalities according to the legislation and verify the importance of bidding processes in public administration. The object of study were the municipalities of Lizarda and Santa Maria do Tocantins. The instrument of data collection was the application of an open and closed questionnaire for the Special Bidding Commission and the Accountant. The data collection took place in two moments: first the data collected in the municipalities, and secondly the data collected in sources already printed or made available virtually. The collected data were organized in spreadsheets, treated statistically and analyzed in comparison with the theory studied. The result of the research allows to conclude that the control imposed by the Law of Bidding aims to provide that the administrator acts in harmony with the principles that guide his activity and seeks, in the contracting of services goods, the most advantageous proposal, in order to evidence the public interest. And in practice, what really is observed is the efficiency and, especially, the economy obtained with the realization of the Pregão, modality is that is being sought more and more by the Public Administration.
