On the previous unit, we talked about some steps of the smallholder farming purchase cycle for school feeding. We also mentioned some aspects of public calls. On this unit we’ll further study public calls and some other steps of the smallholder farming purchase cycle.
Definition and legal devices
The Public Call definition is on paragraph 2 of the Article 20 of Resolution 26/2013.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Did you know that the acquisition of smallholder farming goods for the PNAE does not require a bidding procedure? That’s right! But do you know why?
Legislation, apart from stating about the operation of a public call, also states, by law, the conditions for this process to happen.
- Prices must be compatible to the ones of local markets (according to performed price researches);
- The principles of the Article 37 of the Federal Constitution must be complied with: legality, impersonality, morality, publicity and efficiency;
- Goods must attend to quality inspection demands established by rules that regulate it.
