A contribuição da gestão de projetos na gestão de contratos de construção: em duas universidades públicas federais

Abstract

This research has as its theme the Management of Acquisitions in Public Administration. The theoretical framework used to base this research relates purchasing, procurement, public administration and project management. The management of public procurement assumes relevance for governments, as they are essential for the achievement of national objectives. A case study was conducted involving two Brazilian federal public universities: the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). It was researched how both conducted their acquisitions of works/infrastructure in the period of the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Brazilian Federal Universities (Reuni), instituted in 2007 by the Ministry of Education. The main objective was to understand how the Project Management methodology according to the PMBOK can contribute to the management of acquisitions/contracting of infrastructure works, in the context of the Federal Public Universities surveyed. Through documentary research, case study and thematic categorical analysis, it was found that despite observing the use of some techniques to control deadlines and costs, the structured view focused on the use of project management knowledge was not yet disseminated in the analyzed works. And that the use of the Project Management methodology according to the PMBOK can contribute to the management of acquisitions / contracting of infrastructure works in the Federal Public Universities researched, through the use of their tools, techniques and skills, favoring mainly the planning and control of the processes involved. Therefore, a model for managing these acquisitions was proposed, based on the practice of Project Management according to the PMBOK, using the mapping of the Acquisitions of Infrastructure Works process for these institutions, specifying the sequence of the main activities. Models of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were also constructed that can be used to carry out this type of process/acquisition in the researched universities.
