Electronic auctions: a study of reasons about cancellation items in a federal university

Un estudio de las causas de la cancelación de artículos dentro de una universidad federal

Abstract

The federal institutions of higher education (IFES), constituted in the forms of foundations or autarchies, for being part of the public administration, are obliged to follow the rules of the bidding. Thus, the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), because it is classified as a federal authority and subject to the norms specified in the Federal Constitution, must adopt the bidding as a means of effecting its purchases. This research proposes to analyze the cancellations of items of consumer material in electronic previews carried out within the scope of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, from 2014 to 2018. The research, in terms of purposes, is characterized as applied and descriptive, and for the field, documentary and bibliographical research were used. In this way, considering the information identified from the accomplishment of the objective, it is observed that the internal phase is of extreme importance for the success of the bid, since the main reasons for cancellation of items, identified in this study, are directly related to the specification of the object and price survey, which are directly related to the preparatory phase of the event. Improvement actions for the procurement and bidding processes were proposed, among them the need for greater awareness and qualification by the requesting employees regarding their assignments in the internal phase of the event.
