Nova Lei de Licitação e Contratos Administrativos: Percepções dos Fornecedores da Administração Pública

Abstract

The new bidding law, extended through Provisional Measure No. 1,167, of March 31, 2023, reflects the concern of public agents to promote transparent and efficient public management, respecting the principles of planning and economy. In addition, stricter qualification criteria were established to ensure the efficient use of public resources and the hiring of qualified suppliers. In this sense, this work sought to know the perceptions of Public Administration suppliers regarding the changes to the New Law on Bidding and Administrative Contracts (Law 14.133/21). The research was configured methodologically as a study with a quantitative approach, using descriptive statistics as an analysis technique. The investigation was carried out based on the selection of suppliers that served, in the last year, a public organization in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. As a result, the study allowed identifying the profile of the studied supplier companies and generated information about the transition and implementation of the processes arising from the new law. The results also offer information on the degree of preparedness of the companies. Moreover, it is also worth mentioning the contribution of providing information within the perception gap of suppliers about the bidding processes, which is a relevant factor to understand the effectiveness of the implemented changes and identify possible challenges or benefits brought by the new legislation.
