Impactos da Lei n. 14.133/2021 nas contratações dos serviços de engenharia

Abstract

In April 2021, the Federal Law n. 14.133/2021 was sanctioned regarding public biddings, replacing the Federal Law n. 8.666/1993 in force, focusing on the centralization of biddings and combating corruption. In view of this new milestone in Brazilian legislation, the objective of this research was to identify the main impacts that engineering companies will have when the new law comes into effect in the year 2023. To do so, we used a form that was answered by 18 employees or managers of the bidding companies, aiming to identify their level of knowledge about the new law, as well as to identify the preparation of engineering companies for the expected changes. A survey was also carried out on federal, state, and municipal public administration websites about the companies that won bids in the period from 2019 to 2021, considering the impacts that the new law will bring in the changes of modalities, demandability of the proposal, and other criteria. It found that only 44% of respondents sought an adequate preparation on the content of Federal Law No. 14.133/2021, and the worrying thing is that 85% of these occupy relevant positions in the companies surveyed.
