A ATUAÇÃO DO AGENTE DE CONTRATAÇÃO MUNICIPAL FRENTE À LEI 14.133/2021: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO MUNICÍPIO DE AQUIDAUANA/MS

Abstract

This paper analyzes the implementation of Law No. 14,133/2021 within the Municipality of Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, highlighting the impacts of this new legislation on the bidding process and the performance of contracting agents. The qualitative research used interviews with civil servants assigned to conduct bidding processes to identify perceptions, challenges, and advances observed during the transition from the old Law No. 8,666/1993 to the new law. The results revealed discrepancies in levels of knowledge of the law, operational difficulties, increased paperwork, and a continuous need for training. On the other hand, greater control, transparency, and standardization of processes were also identified, especially with the use of the National Public Procurement Portal (PNCP). The study reinforces the importance of technical training as an essential factor for the effective implementation of the new legislation, contributing to a more efficient and transparent public administration.
