O USO DE SMART CONTRACTS EM CONTRATOS ADMINISTRATIVOS E A ÉTICA NA GOVERNANÇA DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA - DOI: 10.12818/P.0304-2340.2023v83p61

Abstract

Public procurement is an essential way to
provide public goods and services. Today, the
electronic format of public administration
procedures enables progress and economic
growth, a model used worldwide in the fight
against corruption. The question is how
the use of smart contracts contributes to
ethical effectiveness in public procurement
procedures, especially since Law No.
14,133/2021. The goal is to demonstrate
how this technology can provide structural
elements so that its applicability in public
procurement can be debated, not only reducing
the time of the procedure, but also improving
the performance of the contract. The type
of research is predominantly theoretical,
although empirical elements are also used. The
methods used have a qualitative approach of
an applied nature and prescriptive objectives,
predominantly inductive logic, although the
hypothetical-deductive is also necessary, with a
bibliographic-documentary survey procedure
and emblematic cases. The possibility of
interoperability of the system was identified,
enabling electronic participation and
increasing not only the citizen’s participation
in the contest but also a more transparent and sustainable monitoring and auditing, thus promoting ethics in contracts and state governance.
