A prorrogação automática da vigência do contrato de escopo e suas implicações

Abstract

The insertion of the automatic extension of the scope contract in article 111 of Federal Law No. 14,133/2021 aims to maintain the contract, with a view to concluding the object and meeting the public purpose involved in the contract. Although it appears to be a legal mechanism that can be used to facilitate contract management and allow the conclusion of the contracted object, the automatic extension of the scope contract term goes against the management and oversight obligations and may generate consequences for the contract. In this regard, the general objective of this paper is to present interpretations set forth in judgments of the Federal Court of Auditors and the doctrinal guidelines that deal with the validity and extension of contracts, in order to demonstrate the legal implications associated with the automatic extension of the scope contract term, provided for in Federal Law No. 14,133/2021.
