The General Directorate of Administration (DGA) carried out, last Thursday (23), Unicamp's first direct contract based on the new bidding law number 14.133/2021, enacted in replacement of Law No. 8.666/93, in force since 1993. The new legislation will come into force on April 1st, two years after its publication, and regulates the rules for bidding and contracts. The new rules involve several principles for public administration, to ensure more efficiency, publicity, planning, transparency and sustainable national development.
The general director of Administration, Lina Amaral Nakata highlights that the success of this first hiring is an important milestone in the implementation of the new law at Unicamp. She emphasizes that this is the result of joint actions with the Attorney General's Office and the School of Corporate Education (Educorp), sponsor of training for the Board's professionals. Furthermore, it highlights the effort and work developed by the DGA team of professionals designated by decree from the Rectory to study, propose and develop the necessary regulations to comply with the law in force.
Lina Nakata reports that, since the publication of the new law, which provided for a two-year transition period, the DGA has been developing training, dissemination and exchange of experiences with other bodies so that new Unicamp hires can be carried out in compliance with the precepts of the new legislation. “Planning is the cornerstone of this new law, which presents many changes. In fact, there must be cultural changes for the efficient adoption of planning mechanisms provided for in the bidding law.”
New Unicamp regulations in this regard were recently published, such as resolutions GR 12, 13 and 14/2023 and normative instructions DGA nº 106 and 107/2023. Actions to implement the new law involve understanding the governance guidelines, identifying the responsible actors and their respective training, whose editing of norms and regulations will serve to adapt the new regime to administrative and budgetary realities, and to the University's material and personnel.
