agents when using this modality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When looking at this topic, this article aims to study this institute in more detail so that both the public agent and the private company can feel greater legal security when the bidding process is in fact unenforceable.<\/span><span

data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This form of bidding is currently supported by article 74 of the Bidding Law and states that bidding is unenforceable when competition is unfeasible and specifically when: (i) the acquisition of materials, equipment or goods or contracting of services that can only be provided by an exclusive producer, company or commercial representative; (ii) the hiring of a professional from the artistic sector, directly or through an exclusive manager, as long as they are recognized by specialized critics or public opinion; (iii) the contracting of some specialized technical services of a predominantly intellectual nature with professionals or companies with notable specialization, with no requirement for advertising and dissemination services; (iv) objects that must or can be contracted through accreditation and (v) the acquisition or rental of property whose installation and location characteristics make its choice necessary.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, it is not necessary to carry out a bidding process to contract a certain service or acquire a certain product when the nature of the object to be contracted is specific and the choice of a supplier or service provider is also specific. singular, which makes competition impossible.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In other words, unenforceability occurs when there is a situation in which the hiring of a specific supplier or service provider is justified by its uniqueness, specialization or the unviability of competition. For example, hiring exclusive software whose functionalities uniquely meet the needs of public administration or, once implemented, hiring support and maintenance services for this software.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The lack of a plurality of individuals able to apply for the contract intended by the Administration gives rise to the most classic form of unfeasibility of competition. However, it is important to be clear that being \u201cunique\u201d is different from being \u201cexclusive\u201d. When the supplier is unique it means that something is the only one of its kind or that there is only one instance or copy of that and, on the other hand, when it is exclusive it refers to something that is available or reserved for a single person or group, excluding all others.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We have the consequence that, as per the example given above, it is the duty of the public agent, when contracting through non-enforceability, to demonstrate that the chosen technical solution is, in fact, the only or exclusive one capable of meeting the needs of the Public Administration, and must, in the terms of reference or administrative process, it must be completely clear that there is no other solution on the market with the same characteristics, modules, functionalities, similar to the one intended for contracting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Proof of Exclusivity<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before we go into the merits of how the legislator determined the form of proof that will justify the unfeasibility of competition, it is important here to highlight the obligation that lies with the public body to technically justify the need to acquire a certain product or service.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When seeking to acquire a technological solution, be it software, hardware or even a service, the public body must carry out a detailed technical study that demonstrates to the market why that solution is unique to its needs. Here lies the great legal discussion on the topic of contracting through exclusivity, and it is not uncommon to come across discussions with the Courts of Auditors, which often recognize imperfections and even illegalities when contracting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Justified and technically proven the need and exclusivity of service by the solution, article 74, \u00a7<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">1 of the Bidding Law provides:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cFor the purposes of the provisions of item I of the caput of this article, the Administration must demonstrate the unfeasibility of competition through\u00a0<\/span><\/i><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">certificate of exclusivity<\/span><\/i><\/b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,\u00a0<\/span><\/i><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">exclusivity contract, manufacturer&#039;s declaration or other suitable document<\/span><\/i><\/b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0capable of proving that the object is supplied or provided by an exclusive producer, company or commercial representative, with preference for a specific brand prohibited.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:708,&quot;335559731&quot;:48,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The main document used in this type of bidding is the certificate of exclusivity (or certificate of exclusivity), which is the legal document capable of certifying the exclusivity of representing products and services before public bodies. This is the document that justifies that that product or service has no competitor, therefore, the bidding process using a format that deviates from non-enforceability becomes unfeasible. Who issues these certificates?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite the new Bidding Law not mentioning who are the agents responsible for issuing the certificate of exclusivity, the practice remains that such a document must be issued by a Union, Federation, Employers&#039; Confederation or, even, by equivalent entities, that is, entities that are recognized as suitable for issuing such documents. In the case of technology companies, ABES \u2013 Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira das Empresas de Software, among others, issues such certificates as long as the applicant company complies with a series of requirements and presents all necessary documents. It is not at all uncommon to see in bidding processes the request for a certificate\/attestation from a certain entity, which guarantees the public authority the suitability of the document.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is because the Federal Court of Auditors has long shown concern with the content of the exclusivity certificates that guide direct award processes due to the non-requirement of bidding, so much so that it has already issued guidance to jurisdictional bodies to ensure that they take care when receiving of documents of this nature.
