Contractual supervision in the Law 14.133/2021: Governance and results in the execution of public contracts
Abstract
Law 14.133/2021, Brazilian new law for public procurement and contract, intended to replace Law 8.666/1993, innovates in relation to the supervision of public contracts. From the application of new principles, it highlights contract supervisor responsibilities and confirms the centrality of his action on behalf of contracts’ appropriate execution. Among other aspects, Law 14,133/2021 includes contractual supervision already in the planning of public acquisitions, establishes the obligation of training contract supervisors and promotes changes regarding sanctioning. As a whole, it confirms contract supervision as the "Achilles' heel" in the execution of public contracts.
