Management and Supervision of Administrative Contracts in a Federal Institution of Indirect Public Administration

Abstract

This article aims to describe the perception level of training of Brazilian Institute Foundation of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) employees who are designated in order to manage and Supervise Contracts. As described in Law No. 8,666 / 1993 and in the complementary legal framework, the performance of the contract must be monitored and supervised by a specially appointed Management representative. The bibliographic review technique was used as means of research, through the selection, record, interpretation and registration of published literature, published articles in recent journals, academic works, legislation and guidance manuals available to the public domain, as well as a data collection instrument based on a questionnaire applied to agents that exercise the role of contract inspectors into the IBGE State Units. The survey results indicate that the employees who are responsible for supervising contracts at this Foundation do not feel fully confident about having mastery of the legislation and the time needed to perform this function efficiently. In addition, they point out the complexities of legislation and some contracts as difficulties faced to carry out the tasks related to the function.
