Preliminary technical studies: the Achilles heel of public procurement
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present the preliminary technical studies (ETP) and the Demand Officialization
Document (DOD), as essential elements for the planning and success of public procurement. In this
regard, it presents public procurement as a work process consisting of interconnected stages, each one with defined steps, inputs and products. Next, we will address the DOD as a first effort for the success of procurement, to further ahead examine the Preliminary Technical Studies (ETP), demonstrating the legal requirement for their formulation in public procurement, their content and adequate level of detail, and the difficulties for their sound formulation.
