GESTÃO DE COMPRAS EM ORGANIZAÇÕES PÚBLICAS: um estudo de caso a partir das aquisições da UFT entre os anos de 2012 a 2016

Abstract

Business organizations are reorienting their practices to optimize their operating flows for more efficient management. This scenario of administrative rationalization is also impacting public organizations. In this perspective, the search for more effective management is leading public organizations to seek new answers to address their budgetary limitations. This work aims to study the purchasing management of the Federal University of Tocantins, between 2012 and 2016. This research is a qualitative case study and was conducted with the analysis of institutional documents and bibliographic research. Of the total volume contracted from 2012 to 2016, 72.05% of the total volume was destined to contract services. Hiring through direct contracting represents 73.85% of the number of processes, which may signal weakness in the control related to the fractioning of acquisitions. It was observed that UFT uses the electronic auction as its predominant form for its acquisitions, of the total financial volume contracted 73.91% was through this modality. Even with the fiscal constraint scenario, there was an increase in the global value of acquisitions from 2014. The results showed that the university still lacks robust improvements in the monitoring of procurement processes, especially with regard to the agility of processing orders. demands, which may be explained by the University’s multi-camp reality that makes coordinated actions between administrative units difficult.
