It represents an effort by the Bank, to seek further ways to support the reform, and modernization of government procurement in Brazil. Notwithstanding the constraining environment imposed by the 1993 legislation, the country moved forward to modern practices, developing an Internet-based system to implement the electronic version of COMPRASNET, unanimously rated satisfactory. Nonetheless, the current legal framework lays no foundation for a dispute resolution system for government contracts, where exhaustively detailed legal provisions, discourage flexible interpretations, and allow the disqualification of proposals for reasons that are not substantial. In addition, there is lack of a normative entity, i.e., a policy-making agency responsible for developing procurement norms, and ensuring standardization of documents and procedures, thus leaving a gap in the procurement function, filled at times by the legal departments of the agencies, by the Federal Secretariat of Internal Control, and the Courts of Accounts, or by other law enforcement units, that are not specialized in government procurement. Recommendations include the establishment of a normative entity, the development of standard bidding documents, the introduction of Web-based planning, dispute resolution, and bulk buying, and, creating within the new procurement law, an effective dispute resolution system for contract implementation. 2013-07-25T15:41:08Z 2013-07-25T15:41:08Z 2004-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/03/3575914/brazil-country-procurement-assessment-report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14590 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Country Procurement Assessment (CPAR) Economic & Sector Work Latin America & Caribbean Brazil
