A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN CHANGES IN THE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROCESS IN BRAZIL

Abstract

The act of bidding is understood to be the administrative procedure by which the government gives all interested parties the opportunity to offer proposals, in which the one most convenient for the government will be selected. Knowing that Law No. 14.133/21 established a new regulation that deals with various aspects of the bidding law and its components, this paper aims to analyze the main changes in the new bidding law and administrative contracts, as well as their implications for the public sector. In terms of methodology, this work uses a qualitative approach, as well as bibliographical research and the comparative method to identify the main changes brought about by the new wording. The results do not fully cover all the changes that have occurred between the bidding laws, but are limited to specific notes on some interesting aspects brought in by Law No. 14.133/21, analyzing the main innovations regarding the principles of bidding, its modalities, judging criteria and the phases of the bidding process. Therefore, the changes brought about by the new law can be considered positive actions, since several of them have been developed to streamline the process of contracting services and acquiring goods, conducting what is in the interest of the state with greater transparency
