Gestão de riscos nas contratações públicas

Abstract

Risk management is part of corporate governance studies, and is a topic that has gained the attention of managers in recent years. In the public sector, there are several legal provisions published in order to standardize risk management, both at the strategic, tactical and operational levels, as well as in its various areas of activity. In this context, this work sought to answer how risk management can contribute to an effective public procurement process. To this end, the study proposed to examine the risks present in the UFT public contracting process with a view to what could impact the performance of the unit responsible for managing the contracts. This is applied research with exploratory, explanatory and descriptive purposes, using qualitative, bibliographic, documentary, case study and field research methods. The data found was analyzed based on the triangulation of information obtained in the documentary research, the structured interview and the focus group. The employees working in the UFT Contracts Coordination participated in the research and analyzed the activities of the unit's work processes, identifying, analyzing and evaluating events capable of harming the objectives of the organizational unit. The analysis resulted in the identification of eleven risks, of which five were prioritized, resulting in the proposal of an action plan with mitigation and contingency actions to treat these risks.
