Resumo

In the midst of the crisis generated by the coronavirus pandemic, measures that simplified and streamlined public procurement became necessary. It was up to the Government to act intelligently in order to contain the spread of the virus and mitigate the effects of its impact on society. To this end, it was crucial to simplify contracting processes, normally carried out via bidding, so that the Administration was equipped with quick instruments that would allow it to have goods and services in the time required to face the pandemic. In this sense, the object of this research was limited to the “procedure for choosing suppliers and the risks arising from this act”. The general objective of the research is to identify the contours of the due diligence that proposes to provide relevant information about suppliers to the contracting bodies, information that can be used not only in the safe selection of suppliers, but also in the identification and treatment of risks, such as fraud and non-performance. contractual, for example, thus allowing the adoption of measures for better execution and close monitoring of the contract; and as specific objectives: a) to assess the possible risks in direct emergency public contracts carried out by the State of Goiás to face the pandemic caused by Covid-19, considering, for this purpose, the risk factors identified on suppliers, according to developed typologies by CGE; b) quantitatively describe the risks materialized in direct emergency public contracts carried out by the Public Administration of the State of Goiás based on the model adopted for the election of contractors; c) test the due diligence procedure retroactively to the direct emergency contracts carried out by the State of Goiás to face Covid-19; d) verify the possible benefits arising from the adoption of due diligence in the selection of suppliers and risk management, notably the risks of fraud, non-performance and withdrawal of the corresponding contracts. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, it was intended to respond to the following problem: could the prior investigation of suppliers contracted directly to combat the Covid pandemic, through due diligence, reduce the risks of fraud, contractual nonperformance and withdrawal in such contracts? To this end, the research tested the following hypothesis: pre-contractual due diligence, when applied to the public sector, proves to be a potentially positive measure, considering the beneficial effects on the choice of suppliers and the management of contractual risks, especially in periods crisis, in which such hiring needs to be even faster and less bureaucratic. As a methodology, a cut was made to restrict the analysis of normative acts and the performance of empirical research in the Executive Branch bodies of the State of Goiás, covering only the direct emergency contracts carried out for the acquisition of goods and services destined to face the health emergency caused by Covid-19. The research falls within the empirical research genre as it involves the systematic collection of data on public procurement and subsequent analysis, with the aim of verifying its possible influence on the improvement of future administrative procedures. As a result, due diligence has a legal basis to serve the management of risks arising from the contract entered into between the supplier and the Public Administration, simply issuing a normative administrative act that regulates its use as a governance tool in public procurement, the option by law being legitimate in order to grant perpetuity to the tool and protection against the discontinuity of administrative decisions considered as government actions.
