A dispensa de licitação fundamentada no Art. 75, II da Lei nº 14.133/2021: as estratégias da gestão universitária da Universidade Federal do Ceará diante das alterações legislativas

Abstract

The new Law of Public Bidding and Administrative Contracts (Law Nr. 14,133/2021) brought important legislative innovations regarding direct hiring. In view of these innovations, such as the increase in the economic value of contracts in the case of purchases and other services to be exempt from bidding, and the changes generated in the daily life of Higher Education Institutions, the interest in this research arises. The main objective of this article is to investigate the strategies adopted by the management of the Federal University of Ceará in face of the legislative changes brought about by the exemption of bidding based on item II of art. 75 of the law in question. For this reason, this research is exploratory with a qualitative approach, which uses, as data collection, the bibliographic and documentary research and the experience report based on semi-structured interviews, conducted with seven public servers of the university with performance and expertise in the area of bidding or direct contracting. The results show that there is a working group responsible for the analysis and implementation of the law 14,133/2021 at the university, and that the university management has adopted a conservative posture. Furthermore, it is concluded that, initially, there will be an additional financial cost for the institution due to the increase in the number of training sessions to be held by the employees who work with bidding procedures and direct hiring. Finally, the servers that work in the direct hiring sector will have changes in their work routine, since there will be an increase in the volume of service due to the number of demands that will reach the sector.
