Abstract

This study has its starting point the insertion of public policy who seek guidance to promote the inclusion of sustainability criteria in their public tenders. This is a priority for the United Nations (UN), which estimates that in 2030 the world population will approach 9 (nine) billion inhabitants. The consumption of these people can lead to the imminent depletion of several natural resources. Due to this reality, the identification of sustainability criteria in public tenders and contracts presents itself as a possibility to promote sustainable development through the proposal of a sócio-environmental policy at the national level. Brazilian public agencies are responsible for approximately 10% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in purchases of goods and services, that is, in the notices, purchases made according to sustainable criteria must be verified. Thus, sustainable bidding as an administrative procedure that seeks the most advantageous proposal together with sustainable development that seeks to meet the needs of the present without compromising the well-being of future generations. The present research aims to verify if the sustainability criteria are being applied in the bidding processes of a Municipal Foundation in the interior of the São Paulo State. From a qualitative approach, of a descriptive nature, this research uses bibliographic research as data sources. To understand the knowledge of the stakeholders directly responsible for the acquisition of assets, services and works involved in the bidding processes a questionnaire was organized via Google Forms. After carrying out the analyzes, it can be concluded that training and awareness of those involved in the topic of Sustainability is still necessary. It asserts that applying the indications for Sustainable Biddings encompasses not only environmental actions, but also the analysis of the benefits that the assets or services will bring to society.
