Licitações sob o império da fragilidade como a má gestão, a inépcia administrativa e a exploração de recursos públicos prejudicam o país

Abstract

This monograph analyzed the Brazilian bidding system from the perspective of its structural fragility, highlighting how mismanagement, administrative ineptitude and the undue exploitation of public resources compromised its primary purpose of ensuring efficiency, transparency and equality in public contracting. The central objective was to demonstrate that the recurring failures in the conduction of bidding did not result only from normative gaps, but above all from inefficient administrative practices and a scenario of corruption that weakened social trust in the process. The method used was eminently bibliographical and documental, supported by legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence, in addition to the critical analysis of emblematic cases of irregularities in bids. The results showed that, although the legislation evolved with the enactment of Law nº 14.133/2021, practical obstacles persisted that hindered the full effectiveness of the institute. It was concluded that overcoming the fragility of the bidding system required not only normative improvement, but above all the implementation of a professionalized, ethical and committed public management with good governance, an essential condition to ensure the effectiveness of contracting and the safeguard of the collective interest.
