Implementação do Plano de Contratações Anual e demais instrumentos de Governança: o planejamento de compras na Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro

Abstract

The public administration undergoes constant reformulations in its management models, seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its services. In this context, public governance emerges as a system capable of ensuring more effective processes. In the area of procurement, governance includes practices that promote transparency, efficiency and responsibility in the use of public resources, resulting in good management practices and maximizing benefits for society. The implementation of instruments such as the Annual Procurement Plan (APP), for example, aims to ensure that procurement is planned, executed and monitored in such a way as to optimize the allocation of public funds and promote greater transparency in public processes. Given this scenario, this study set out to analyze the preparation and execution of the APP at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro, as well as to investigate the good governance practices in procurement adopted by the institution. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach, using the case study method. Data collection included a bibliographic survey, documentary research and participant observation, while analysis was carried out using documentary and descriptive analysis techniques. The findings indicate that, although the APP may be formally drawn up and executed, it does not seem to contribute significantly to efficient procurement planning at the university. It also appears that, despite efforts to implement governance mechanisms, the instruments related to procurement still need more attention and improvement. Among the recommendations are the adoption of specific actions in the implementation and control stages of the APP, the creation of internal regulations and standards, the improvement of risk management in contracting, the promotion of training for civil servants involved in the procurement metaprocess and the implementation of an effective communication plan to disseminate information about procurement processes. The engagement and support of senior management were identified as critical factors for the success of these initiatives. As a technical-technological product, a conclusive technical report was drawn up, containing a detailed analysis of the phases of the APP cycle and proposals for actions and tools aimed at improving the University's procurement planning process.
