Gestão de compras públicas: uma proposta para melhorar o processo de compras em um setor de saúde pública

Abstract

The purchasing process plays a key role in government agencies, especially when it comes to managing public money. The bidding sector responsible for procurement of goods and services from the Municipal Health Department of Manaus of the Municipal of Manaus (SEMSA / PMM) has done a good job in 2016, but still needs to improve the quality and productivity of the service provided when considering the index of failed bidding items and processes, the time taken to contract suppliers, among other problems. This paper aims to present a proposal to improve the purchasing process. A case study was carried out based on the PMM Health Subcommittee. This is an exploratory and descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The results indicated new alternatives to improve the purchasing process in the studied sector regarding the corrective actions established for each of the causes of the prioritized problem, the elaboration of a flow chart to make the process faster and the creation of a standard operating procedure in the performed activities.
