O papel dos gestores na fiscalização dos contratos administrativos do Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria

Abstract

This study had as its objective to analyze if directors/supervisors of public contracts from the University Hospital of Santa Maria (HUSM) feel they are prepared to cater to legal demands. Starting with a survey of bibliography specialized in bids and public contracts, a series of conceptual considerations and a tool for data collection were elaborated for the directors/supervisors of public contracts of HUSM in vigor in the month of May/2011. It was observed that the majority of directors feel they are prepared, or partly prepared, demonstrating the existence of strengths in the process of contractual execution at HUSM: the large experience of most directors, HUSM directors‟ high participation in bidding and one third of hiring management at HUSM to be pacific, according to research data. But there are weaknesses to be worked to improve directors‟ preparation: to improve the methodology of contractual execution and of receipts. The cause of these flaws can be linked to the lack of internal standardization in the process.
