Manutenção de meios navais : propostas de melhorias para os processos de contratação da MB

Abstract

This thesis conducts a comparative analysis of the bidding and contracting processes of the Brazilian Navy (MB) with those carried out by the state-owned companies Petrobras and Transpetro, aiming to identify best practices that can enhance contract management within the MB. Considering the regulatory context of Laws No. 14,133/2021, applicable to the MB, and No. 13,303/2016, which governs state-owned enterprises, the study examines the fundamental principles guiding these contracts, such as legality, impersonality, morality, publicity, efficiency, administrative probity, economicity, and sustainable development. Through documentary analysis and case studies involving technical services and equipment maintenance contracts, procedural and formalization differences between direct and indirect administration are highlighted, along with significant convergences in the commitment to transparency, responsibility, and technical rigor. Noteworthy are the robust practices of the state-owned companies, which present detailed integrated management of Safety, Environment, and Health, objective linkage between measurement and payment, and a balanced penalty regime. The MB demonstrates legal compliance and formal management mechanisms, but there are opportunities for improvement, such as incorporating performance indicators and strengthening preventive monitoring and sanctioning. The research concludes that the adoption of best practices observed in state-owned companies can enhance the efficiency, transparency, and legal security of the MB's contracting processes, contributing to contract management an oversight.
