Aware of this scenario, ABES – Brazilian Association of Software Companies promoted a event with the participation of experts from the sector in which it launched the Guide on the Special Regime for Public Procurement.
Sanctioned on June 1, 2021, the Legal Framework for Startups (MLS) provides for the Public Contract for Innovative Solutions (CPSI), a bidding process that allows public managers to test solutions to solve problems in Brazilian public management. Inspired by the open innovation model, the MLS bidding process allows the manager to present problems to the innovation ecosystem and select the solution with the greatest capacity to face them. do here the free download of the guide.
“In the current context in which public purchases are primarily based on the lowest price criterion, the MLS presents itself as an opportunity for public managers to review their practices when selecting innovative solutions. By making this Guide available, ABES demonstrates its understanding that making purchases based on cost-benefit criteria, focused on problem solving, has the potential to generate benefits not only for public management, but also greater dynamism in the startup ecosystem” , declares Paulo Milliet Roque, President of ABES.
