Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contract management in the Brazilian Company of Urban Trains (CBTU), specifically the Urban Trains Superintendency of Recife (STUREC), under the perspective of contract management and corporate governance procedures. STUREC is the local agent of CBTU, a public company whose goal is to modernize, expand, and implement passenger rail transport systems in the country. In one of the acquirement documents regarding fuel purchase, the lack of adherence to governance principles within the management processes led to operational and financial issues. CBTU management reports presented no consideration for the contingencies of that particular procurement process, including those related to the changes enacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As exposed, it is possible to infer that the procedures adopted by the company need to be revised and modified to guarantee its activities.
