Análise das licitações de obras de infraestrutura viária no estado do Ceará

Abstract

Bidding is the tool used by public bodies and entities for the acquisition of goods and services that allow the performance of their activities. With regard to public works bidding procedures, the execution of road infrastructure works plays an important role in the planning of state and federal spheres, with expressive values and which were worked on in this Graduation Project. Therefore, managers of the States and the Federation must seek a balance between an efficient service and the least possible waste, since all this amount invested is of public origin, and it is necessary to use it in a responsible and transparent manner. The concepts that guide the bidding are easily accessible through laws, standards and manuals, however difficult to understand by some professional areas, including engineering, as they usually involve legal concepts. In addition, it is necessary to know some statistical data on the bidding process, which may serve as an auxiliary tool in the search for this balance. Thus, this work aims to analyze public works tenders, focusing on road infrastructure in the state of Ceará, through an analysis of data collected from bidding procedures carried out in the five-year period 2016 to 2020. Through a documentary study of more out of 130 bidding processes, it was possible to obtain average values, trends, as well as characteristics of the main companies winning the contracts for public works for road infrastructure in the State of Ceará. Important data such as investments, average BDI and discounts were separated by years and analyzed to look for behavior, aiming to help servants, managers and control bodies (Court of Accounts of the Union, States and General Controllerships) in decision making, as well as statistically demonstrate specific characteristics of bids, seeking to instruct companies that wish to participate in bidding procedures. From the data collected, it was possible to obtain results that demonstrate specific characteristics in tenders, with average BDI values, investments that can be used as aid tools, as well as values within the period that demonstrate a trend in investments made by federal entities and statewide.
