In the coming days, the current position holders will leave the organization’s six directorates: executive, administrative and financial, human resources, planning and management, and technical and legal assistance.

This Sunday, O GLOBO revealed that at Fundação Saúde, what was supposed to be an exception has become the rule: since 2021, recruitment processes have become considered emergency – which the foundation conducts without bids and which, by law, must only take place on an exceptional basis. – It goes beyond those conducted through public competitions. This year, the total value of contracts signed without bids by the authority is three times what is produced by electronic auctions.

According to data from the Integrated Acquisition Management System (Siga) collected by GLOBO, as of October the organization signed 292 contingent contracts with a combined value exceeding R$911 million; The total of the 60 contracts with the e-auction amounts to R$302 million. Last year, the discrepancy was even greater: 618 contracts with a global value of R$1.6 billion were signed without bidding, compared to only 139 contracts resulting from competitions worth R$372 million.

As O GLOBO showed on Sunday, the Health Foundation’s recruitment policy is the target of audits by the State Court of Auditors (TCE) and criticism from experts. A report released by the agency in April this year states that the volume of no-bid contracts is “the result of a lack of planning, negligence, or mismanagement.” The text notes that “tender exemption work is an alternative resource available to the Director-General to manage exceptions. However, the Health Foundation Director used it as a rule to be applied to carry out the hiring,” TCE auditors said in the document.

Created in 2007 as an alternative to hiring professionals and purchasing inputs more quickly than direct management, the Health Foundation gained ground in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the midst of a crisis caused by complaints about irregularities in construction fields. Hospitals by OS Iabas. This episode culminated in the dismissal of the then Governor Wilson Wetzel and the approval of a law requiring the state to take over all health units that were managed by the OSs – thus, the institution ended up gradually absorbing the management of UPAs, hospitals and institutes.
