Compras públicas sustentáveis: aplicação da Agenda Ambiental da Administração Pública nos pregões municipais

Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of the adoption of the Public Administration Environmental Agenda (A3P) in the bidding documents, in the "pregão" modality, in two municipalities located in the South of Minas Gerais, Três Corações and Varginha. The purpose was to identify the differences, if any, in the description of the products tendered by the two municipalities, noting that, unlike Varginha, Três Corações is part of the Environmental Agenda (A3P) since 2013. It should be noted that the mentioned Environmental Agenda is a program that aims to implement sustainable socio-environmental management in the administrative and operational activities of the Government. Thus, it was sought to verify whether the characteristics of the products tendered change depending on whether the municipality participates or not in the A3P Environmental Agenda. Based on the analysis of the bidding documents in the negotiation modality of the year 2015, of both municipalities involved, it was identified that the description of the products tendered did not include, with minor exceptions, criteria related to sustainability. With this information, it was considered feasible to draw up a plan to improve the bidding processes, in order to reconcile the municipal bidding system with the thematic axis of sustainable public procurement, one of the six structural axes of the Public Administration Environmental Agenda.
