Compras públicas na modalidade pregão eletrônico no HU/UFGD: proposta de instrumentos para redução no tempo de tramitação

Abstract

With the advent of globalization, the national governments are forced to modernize their management. The global market starts to require more fiscal responsibility from public management, without abdicating the basic service assistance to the population. That is, do more with less. From this perspective, the public procurement field shows itself as a crucial activity in the public expenditures process. After enactment of 1988 Federal Constitution, the Brazilian government has been seeking to develop in the goods and services procurement procedures, including the electronic auction system creation, a new bidding modality processed via internet. In public health, the purchasing area is of great importance in hospitals, since the provision of health services efficiently is inextricably linked to the acquisition of inputs for the various areas that are part of it, at the lowest cost and at the right time. From this perspective, this research aims to propose solutions to reduce the process proceeding time of procurement in the electronic auction system of the College Hospital of the Federal University of Grande Dourados (HU/UFGD). To do so, a case study is used as a technical procedure, through a survey of the proceeding time in trading through the years of 2015 and 2016. The results demonstrate a certain slowness in the proceeding process of purchases in the electronic auction system, predominantly located in the intern processing phase, mainly in the prices estimative step. They also show a gap between processes demand and processing capacity, as well as a high number of items cancels during the procedure. Before the collected data, the solutions are presented to reduce the proceeding time of this bidding process in the electronic trading system modality.
