A licitação sustentável na Universidade Estadual do Maranhão

Abstract

The unbridled use of natural resources causes a series of impacts to the environment and to the society. Sustainable bidding can be applied in public institutions to contribute to the development of sustainable practices through companies that supply products and services, enabling the minimization of impacts generated to the environment. In view of this, this article aimed to conduct a case study on the practice of sustainable biddings at the Maranhão State University through the analysis of the biddings already held, to verify the existence (or not) of sustainable criteria in the purchasing process and its influence on the sustainability of the institution. The research approaches the theme of sustainability through Sustainable Bidding with exploratory objectives for an applied and bibliographical research, as well as qualitative and quantitative in which documents and public data were used and that through analysis made it possible to achieve the proposed objectives. From this, the insertion of environmental criteria in the university's bids was verified in a shy way, thus needing to encourage a greater 5 number of product acquisitions and service contracting with these criteria. It was concluded that despite the legal and normative foundations, it is not enough to make sustainable purchases effective. There is a lack of actions, courses and recruitment to raise the awareness of managers about the importance of sustainable bidding at the State University of Maranhão
