This Friday (31), the federal government edited a provisional measure (MP) that changes the entry into force of the new rules in the Bidding Law. The text will come into force from December 29, 2023. The MP was published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette (DOU).

In this way, municipal managers will have until the last working day of the year to adapt to the new Bidding Law. Until then, the old modalities can still be used, informed Agência Brasil. The MP meets a demand from mayors. The old bidding models would remain valid only until this Friday.

The Minister of Management, Esther Dweck said that in May the National School of Public Administration (Enap) will carry out training for public managers focused on the new legislation. According to the government, the New Bidding Law unifies all previous legislation, in addition to bringing more transparency, effectiveness and agility to bids and the execution of administrative contracts.

Among the changes are the creation of new bidding modalities, such as the competitive dialogue and the auction, the adoption of the trading session in all spheres of Public Administration; the creation of the Federal Government Procurement System, among others.
