Incorporação de critérios de sustentabilidade nas compras públicas da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados

Abstract

The notion of sustainability is based on the need to ensure the availability of resources for future generations, as well as the promotion of social equality. It is the role of the State under the constitution (article 170 and 225 CF / 1988) to defend and preserve the environment, and is also one of the guiding principles of the country's economic order. In this sense, the general objective of this research is to propose sustainability criteria to be incorporated in the purchases of the Federal University of Grande Dourados-UFGD, aiming to contribute to the improvement of sustainable institutional practice, to promote sustainable national development. In methodological terms the research is applied as to its purpose and descriptive as to its general objectives. The approach used is qualitative and the procedures adopted were documentary and survey. The qualitative step was carried out through semi-structured interviews with purchasing managers responsible for the execution of the acquisition process and with purchasing interlocutors, applicants from the main academic units of the university, to identify the sustainable practices adopted and possible obstacles or obstacles to an effective implementation of PHC. Also, as data collection instruments, the analysis of bidding documents initiated by the investigated unit was used to identify the sustainable criteria adopted and the adequacy of the bidding documents to the applicable legislation. As a result of the work, the research showed that the UFGD is in an initial phase in the procedures applied to sustainable public procurement, requiring synchronized actions involving all actors and training of the team with respect to the incorporation of sustainability criteria. As applied research and interventionist proposal, the proposal of this work was the guidelines for the creation of a Sustainable Procurement Manual for the Federal University of Grande Dourados, as well as an exclusive catalog of sustainable items and a checklist as an orientation tool for those in charge of the organization of the bidding process.
