About: extend bidding exemption for public health institutions

Kim Kataguiri: Mr. President, article 74 of the Procurement Law already addresses the case of inexigibility when there is only a single supplier, when there is only a single agent capable of supplying that product, supplying that service, a case which today is already the reality at Hemobrás.

Kim Kataguiri: So, in my assessment, extending it — and I believe there is even a problem of legislative technique, there will be disagreement when discussing the jurisprudence of this new wording at the STJ (Superior Court of Justice) — I find it problematic to include a new provision for public institutions exclusively for the health system, exclusively for a new product, when today it is already not required when there is a single company.

We may be preventing the contracting, by means of a competitive tender, of a better product, better for the patient, cheaper for the Unified Health System and that gives more quality of life to the end user. So, the guidance is 'no', Mr. President.
