O princípio da eficiência à luz da lei n. 14.133/2021: avanços e desafios do novo modelo de licitações

Abstract

The enactment of Law No. 14,133/2021 represents a significant modernization of the public procurement system in Brazil, replacing the old regime of Law No. 8,666/1993. The main objective of this study is to investigate the advances and challenges that the new Public Procurement Law presents for the consolidation of administrative efficiency, a constitutional principle enshrined in Amendment No. 19/1998. The methodology adopted was bibliographic research, based on the doctrine of renowned authors of Administrative Law, in addition to the analysis of the relevant legislation. The results indicate that, although the new law brings important mechanisms for planning, control, and innovation, its full effectiveness depends on the technical training of managers, institutional modernization, and overcoming cultural barriers in the public sector. It is concluded that the principle of efficiency will only be achieved through the commitment of public actors to management oriented towards results, legality, and accountability.
