Governança, modelos e práticas de compras para a política pública: limites e potencialidades nas micro e pequenas empresas

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the public policy of differentiated treatment in tenders aimed at micro-enterprises and small businesses (SMEs). The research problem is to know to what extent do governance, models and hiring practices restrict or enhance the participation of small businesses? The general objective is to discuss the role of governance and contracting models and practices on the effectiveness of the program, aiming to measure the adequacy of benefits in bidding in relation to the current business environment. To this end, it characterizes the program in terms of target audience, networks of articulations, management instances, as well as sizing the participation of MSEs in the public procurement business environment, between 2011–2023. The justification arises from the social, political and economic relevance of small businesses for the economy and the potential of the public procurement market for national development. As for the methodology, content analysis and the descriptive statistical method are adopted, using as an instrument of data collection and documentary research. The results demonstrate the insufficiency of the benefits established by the program's normative basis: Complementary Law 123/2006, given the current business environment and indicates governance failures in acquisitions that affect the effectiveness of public policy: lack of functionalities in purchasing systems aimed at differentiated treatment, disincentives for small businesses through notices, digital incentives for the financialization of administrative contracts and free rides in price registration, among other problem situations. Finally, it proposes a research agenda for future analyses.
