A nova lei de licitações e contratos administrativos e o princípio da eficiência na administração pública

Abstract

It is hard to predict and prevent all problems related to acquisition process, however, it is important that the legislation seeks to provide more efficient competitive bidding processes. The law is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. A means that needs to be, with each change, more consonant with reality. In doing so, it is believed that the new Administrative Procurement and Contracts Law (Law nº 14.133/2021), enacted on April 1, 2021, aims to make the agreements more rational, agile and transparent, with the intention of serving the public interest in a more efficient manner. In this way, the present work, from the deductive method and through a bibliographic review, pursued as a general objective to analyze the new Law of Administrative Procurement and Contracts, from the Principle of Efficiency in Public Administration, using the data collection on official platforms and forge reflections on the Economic Analysis of Law. From this, it was concluded that the New Law brought several technological and normative innovations, capable of reducing the average cost-time of the bidding and improving publicity and speed in the bidding processes. Although, data collection was unsuccessful, given the lack of complete and accurate information on official websites. It was also possible to recognize that the significant improvements resulting from the New Law will only reach the practice after a long period of adaptation.
