Abstract

This monograph aims to address the concepts of the principle of efficiency in Public Administration and the criterion for judging bids for the lowest price and to evaluate the influence of these institutes on the quality of contracting and acquisition of goods and services intended to meet the public interest . Thus, these principles and criteria will be analyzed, as well as some fundamental elements related to them, such as the Public Administration itself and the public tenders and respective techniques and tools. In the course of the work, the impact of the lowest price criterion on the quality of bids will be examined, emphasizing its positive and negative aspects. In addition, more recent instruments and ideas will be presented that contribute to the optimization of the performance of public bids and contracts, aiming at the selection of the most advantageous proposal for the satisfaction of the collective interest. For that, the bibliographic research was used as a method of data collection, through the study raised in the theoretical chapters, the exploratory research, seeking to have a greater proximity to the reality of the object of study and, still, the qualitative approach, given that that a discursive questionnaire is applied with two effective servers of the area of bidding of the Court of Justice of the State of Ceará (TJCE). The answered questionnaire is presented in the two appendices at the end of the work and commented on in the results chapter. Finally, in the course of this research, it is concluded that the principle of efficiency and the criterion of lowest price influence the results of public contracts, especially if misinterpreted or poorly managed, emphasizing, however, that other factors can be more impacts, such as planning and its respective elements.
