A importância das descrições dos itens no processo licitatório nos hospitais universitários federais: eficiência na utilização

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, mainly due to rising demand and costs, the Federal University Hospitals are undergoing a major crisis. Among the main problems we found the procurement management, since debts with suppliers has been presented as one of the biggest reasons for the millionaire accumulated financial deficit during this period. Thus, as the procurements are presenting themselves as one of the most important problems to be faced, a survey of the reasons for this fact was made and the description of these appeared to be the main source of inefficiency in purchases in the HU's. In studying the laws governing the public licitations realizes that the solution to the issue of inefficiency of the procurement is in the law itself, which states that purchases must, among other things, serve the principle of standardization. It is through the application of this that some public agencies are standardizing their purchases through cataloging products ordered. However, most of these, including the Federal University Hospitals, do not give due importance to the process of describing the items being auctioned. We must change this situation for the HU's come out of this crisis that seems endless and fullfil their constitutional duty to ensure full, universal and free access to all.
