Gestão e fiscalização de contratos administrativos: um estudo de caso na Universidade Federal do Tocantins

Abstract

Administrative contracts, which result from public tenders, are essential tools to enable the Public Administration to provide services, carry out works and acquire goods. These are instruments used by the State to achieve its objectives. Their execution and execution must comply with strict legal procedures and ethical principles to ensure the efficiency, transparency and legality of the management of public resources. In this context, this study sought to answer how the performance of the UFT's administrative contract supervisors is ensuring effective contractual supervision. To this end, the study proposed to analyze the performance of the Administrative Contract supervisors of the Federal University of Tocantins. This is an applied research with exploratory, explanatory and descriptive purposes, using a quantitative and qualitative approach. The procedures used were bibliographical survey, documentary research, case study, focus group and semi-structured interview. The research involved a contract manager and five sector inspectors assigned to UFT campuses, as well as the management team from the University Administration. Individual interviews and focus groups were used to analyze the performance, perception, motivations and lack of motivation for the performance of contract manager and inspector activities within UFT. Based on the interviews, the research revealed opportunities for improvements in UFT's management and inspection process, resulting in a proposed action plan as a way to mitigate or eliminate any deficiencies detected.
