Study goals
The study aimed to improve IFAP’s public procurement processes by applying the Business Process Management (BPM) model to reduce operational time and costs while also increasing administrative transparency.
Relevance / originality
A digital guide was created to organize all stages of public procurement, from demand to contract management, through process modeling. The analysis of 54 institutions showed only partial flows; the guide addresses this gap by aligning documents with Law 14.133/2021.
Methodology / approach
The methodology was applied, descriptive, and qualitative, involving bibliographic research, document analysis, and benchmarking in federal institutions. BPMN 2.0 diagrams (AS-IS) were produced, along with a TO-BE model aligned with the Procurement Planning Procedures Instruction (IPPC/AGU-MGI) and a Digital Guide.
Main results
The diagnosis revealed bottlenecks in IFAP’s procurement flows, with rework, delays, and lack of standardization. It was found that a prolonged internal phase impacts the total acquisition time, and many federal institutions disclose only partial planning flows.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
Construction of a Digital Guide and Procedures that facilitate access to procurement information and reduce costs. Theoretically, the study confirms BPM’s applicability in the public sector, especially in acquisitions, pointing to practical pathways for improving public administration.
Social / management contributions
The research contributes to greater transparency, strengthens social oversight, and optimizes the use of public resources. For management, it provides a Digital Guide and Procedures that reduce rework, integrate departments, standardize processes, and ensure compliance with Law 14.133/2021.
