Nova Lei de Licitações: um estudo de caso na Empresa VM - Atacarejo

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the impacts of the new Public Procurement Law on public procurement processes, with a specific focus on the VM company operating in the retail sector. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative research methodology was employed, using questionnaires administered to employees of the company. The research seeks to understand the benefits derived from the new legislation, such as the strengthening of transparency and the simplification of bidding procedures. Additionally, areas for improvement are identified, including the need for capacity-building among the involved stakeholders and the establishment of more effective monitoring and control mechanisms. The obtained results contribute to the advancement of knowledge regarding the impacts of the new Public Procurement Law and emphasize the importance of promoting more efficient and transparent practices in the field of public procurement. Further in-depth studies are still needed. The interviewees displayed a reasonable level of knowledge regarding the new law; however, this knowledge remains quite general.
