Compras Públicas Sustentáveis: propostas para implementação e os benefícios das compras compartilhadas em uma autarquia municipal

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the public bidding and procurement practices of the Operational Development, Sanitation, and Urban Actions Company (CODAU), a municipal agency in Uberaba/MG. Using CODAU as a case study, the research emphasizes the transition to the new regulatory framework established by Law No. 14,133/2021. The general objective was to evaluate the incorporation of sustainability criteria in the agency's public contracts and to identify the potential for implementing shared procurement as an efficiency strategy. The methodology was based on qualitative and descriptive documentary research, analyzing data from the agency’s Citizen Portal, specifically focusing on electronic reverse auctions (pregõeseletrônicos) conducted and ratified under the price registration system during 2023 and 2024. The results demonstrate procedural maturity in the management of bidding processes; however, they reveal low integration of socio-environmental criteria and an absence of shared procurement strategies. The study concludes that the institutionalization of a sustainability policy, combined with continuous training for public officials, is essential for improving public procurement and promoting local sustainable development.
