New Bidding Law

“The New Law of Bids and Government Contracts has transformed the scenario of government procurement in our country. It introduced a new modality, that is: competitive dialogue, extinguishing two old ones (price taking and invitation) and also preparing the ground for electronic purchases, with novelties in terms of electronic catalogs, accreditation and the creation of a National Public Procurement Portal. It is a diploma that basically compiled and updated three previous laws: the General Law of Bids and Contracts (Law 8.666/1993), the Auction Law (Law 10.520/2002) and the RDC Law (Law 12.462/2011), and is also the result of the absorption of numerous infra-legal normative acts, as well as the jurisprudence of the control bodies, with emphasis on the Courts of Auditors.

The work is very useful to managers, applicators, controllers and government contracts students, since it compares the legislation and focuses on the innovative points”.
