Last Monday, 11, at the Meeting of New Mayors in Brasília, the federal government launched theHire + Brazil. The platform will allow the registration and hiring of individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs) by the federal government, states and municipalities across the country. At the moment, maintenance and small repair services may be contracted, that already occur with exemption from bidding. In this first phase, the estimate is of a potential democratization opportunity of about R$ 6 billion annually in new contracts
To participate in Contrata+Brasil, the supplier just needs to registerusing the login ofgov.brand inform about the services it offers. The demands of your interest will be informed to the WhatsApp account of the provided cell phone number. The first hires will be made by the federal government, but the environment is also open for the participation of executives from states and municipalities
Cooperation
The idea of the portal arose from a pioneering initiative by the city hall of Recife, that is being extended to the rest of the country with the support of technology provided by Serpro. I can't find it, a symbolic cooperation agreement was signed between the federal government's technology company, the ministries of Management and Innovation (MGI) and Entrepreneurship, of Microenterprise and Small Business (MEMP), in addition to the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI), Attorney General's Office of the Union (AGU) and the Science Secretariat, Technology and Innovation of the city hall of Recife
"Contrata+Brasil is a response to an important discussion about public accounts in Brazil", it is an initiative to change our hiring practices aiming to strengthen local suppliers, announced the minister of MGI, Esther Dweck. According to the minister, Brazil has 16 million MEIs, with only 70 thousand registered in the federal government's supplier database, what represents only 0,4% of the total
Esther Deweck added that the work of her department is not only to bring federal government programs to States and Municipalities, but also to choose good initiatives from other entities and extend them throughout the country. "Thus, we thank the AGU, that guaranteed us legal security, to Serpro, that will carry out the expansion of the platform and to Sebrae, for your qualification work of the MEIS
Good practices
"Every good practice has the ability to be reproduced and deserves to be absorbed", and let's collaborate, with all the expertise and technological capability of Serpro, with this process of technological expansion led by the MGI, stated the president of the public company, Alexandre Amorim. "It is a technology that will democratize access for micro-entrepreneurs to public procurement", contributing to the dynamism of the local economy. Carry out an activity like this, is to make the city pulse, evaluated.
Amorim also took advantage of the signing of the cooperation agreement to announce theCity Hall+Digital, a program from the federal government's state technology agency that promotes the modernization and construction of digital services for cities with up to 30,000 inhabitants
Already for the minister of MEMP, Márcio França, the new logic of government action should be, before everything, proactive. "This initiative from Recife, what inspired Contrata+Brasil, invert the pattern of the citizen who demands and awaits the action of the State. Now, the state is the one that seeks the citizen, with gains for both parties, explained
