Abstract

The recent enactment of the Clean Company Act in Brazil (Federal Law n.12.846/2013) has provided to Brazilian Public Administration a new anti-corruption tool – the leniency agreement, which can be proposed for those bidders facing possible debarment sanction for practicing severe procurement irregularities (Federal Procurement Law n.8.666/2013). The Brazilian Procurement Law determines automatic cross-debarment within all the federal entities (Union, states and counties). This paper will examine how this new provision affects the Brazilian procurement model, in comparison to the US and World Bank systems. Finally, the paper will assess some possible conflicts which can emerge from the combination of these models.
