Contratações públicas estratégicas: um estudo da União Europeia e do Reino Unido

Abstract

The study is based on the Strategic Public Procurement best practices framework developed by Almeida (2024), used as a reference to analyze and compare the regulatory approaches to Strategic Public Procurement in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). The following regulations were analyzed and compared: Directive 2014/24/EU, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the German Procurement Regulation (VgV) and the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. The research explores the differences and similarities between the two contexts, the EU prioritizes regulatory harmonization among its Member States, while the UK, after Brexit, adopts greater flexibility and regulatory autonomy. The qualitative methodology, based on literature review and content analysis, shows that sustainable, innovative and inclusive practices are fundamental to improving the transparency and effectiveness of Strategic Public Procurement, which was stated several times throughout the study, when similar practices were identified in the two countries studied, thus providing valuable lessons for Brazil and other regulatory scenarios.
