Every public institution has an obligation to ensure the correct use of resources, especially when contracting services or acquiring goods. For this, it must respect the rules set forth in Law nº 8.666, of June 21, 1993, the Bidding Law, and in other regulatory instruments that seek to ensure that the public body chooses the best proposal in terms of quality and price.

To monitor the progress of bids carried out by Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, citizens have at their disposal the F Public Transparency Pageiocruzi. Each administrative body has its own page that gathers information on the respective bids published as of January 1, 2005, classified according to the situation they are in. The data are obtained from the Integrated System of Administration of General Services of the Federal Government (Siasg).

Available information is periodically updated. In order to monitor the actual situation of the bids, one should consult the Federal Government purchasing website (Comprasnet).

The bids in force at Instituto Oswaldo Cruz are available on the website https://governanca.fiocruz.br.
