A aplicação de programas de integridade em contratações públicas federais: uma análise à luz da lei nº 14.133/21

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of integrity programmes in federal public contracts, according to the law No. 14.133/2021, with the aim of understanding its normative rationale, its legal impacts, and, especially, its practical effectiveness in promoting integrity in relations between the State and private entities. The specific objectives seek to understand the main concepts related to integrity, examine the stages of the bidding process most susceptible to the risk of corruption, and conduct a critical analysis of the effectiveness of integrity programs in public procurement, in order to identify the main obstacles to the practical implementation of the institute. The methodology adopted consisted of a literature review, based on a critical analysis of specialized doctrine in Administrative Law, technical publications from control organs, as well as scientific articles and other materials relevant to the topic of compliance and integrity. Ultimately, it is understood that, although the requirement for integrity and compliance programs represents an important regulatory advance, its effectiveness depends on extra-legal factors, notably the capacity for state supervision, the strengthening of public governance, and the substantial commitment of public and private organizations to ethical practices.
