Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze whether the innovations introduced by the New Public Procurement Law (Law No. 14.133/21) had significant impacts on the sustainability criteria definitions in procurement processes at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), compared to previous legislation, under the perspective of the triple bottom line. A qualitative and quantitative documentary analysis was performed on bidding notices and terms of reference of UFMS procurements conducted from June 2023 to July 2024, classifying sustainability criteria into environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The results indicated that, despite a slight increase in sustainable criteria under the new legislation, these remain predominantly focused on the environmental dimension; meanwhile social and economic dimensions remain underrepresented, suggesting challenges for a more balanced integration of sustainability in public procurements.
