Abstract

From a theoretical and practical point of view, the changes regarding digital transformation resulting from the New Public Tenders and Contracts Law (NLLC) are important for public management. After all, it is necessary to advance the understanding of the obstacles experienced by the municipality of Gado Bravo-PB so that digital transformation can occur in accordance with the requirements of the NLLC. For this, an exploratory-descriptive approach of a basic qualitative nature was used, with the application of semi-structured questionnaires. The general objective of the research is to identify and analyze the obstacles and their causes for implementing digital transformation in municipalities of Gado Bravo-PB. Its specific objectives are: I- Investigate the obstacles experienced by the municipality of Gado Bravo-PB through the 5 dimensions of the questionnaire; II- Identify strategies and practices with the objective of resolving obstacles to implementing digital transformation in the municipality of Gado Bravo-PB; III- contribute to the advancement of knowledge about the relationship between digital transformation and public management in the municipality of Gado Bravo. The research design focused on the eight dimensions of the digital transformation of Rede Gov.Br, which are analyzed in the research, namely: aspects of governance, technical capabilities, relationship with citizens, data security, digital infrastructure, adoption of technologies, systems management and digitalization of secretariats, which are analyzed through the questionnaire applied to the chosen municipality. The results indicated that until now (2024), the municipality of Gado Bravo-PB lacks greater technological infrastructure and a greater number of trained personnel to effectively carry out the digital transformation process. Therefore, it is crucial that there are measures in place, such as hiring and training staff; acquisition of electronic equipment and computerization and instruction of the local population, with the aim of assisting this municipality in the digitalization process, to better offer and monitor the quality of its services.
