Licitações: a busca pela qualidade dos produtos adquiridos

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the main points that help in the response of the reason for the low quality of the products acquired in the bidding events, since these acquisitions represent a significant share of Brazil's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which should encourage greater competition by private companies. To do so, a range of published academic literature on the subject was collected, where it was possible to perform a good exploratory research to obtain a more complete and adequate knowledge of reality, in order to achieve the most efficient and conscientious result. The methodology used was predominantly qualitative in view of the interest in deepening the contact with the proposed subject and thus narrowing in the investigation to arrive at a conclusion. In the final considerations, the main causes of the low quality of the acquired products are pointed out, some critics made the lack of support by the managers in the qualification and incentive of the servants who work in the sectors of purchases, presented to the limitations of the work, as well as some suggestions for research on the subject.
