Success and failure in bidding process for reverse auction modality

a scoping review

Abstract

The reverse auction is one of the bidding modalities, which was instituted by Law 10,520/02 and has been widely used in public institutions. Although the benefits of this modality are many, there is a considerable number of failures in the procedures, so that the reverse auction sessions may fail, with no participants or even be canceled, nullified, or revoked. This article aims to evaluate in the literature the reasons for successes and failures of the bidding process for reverse auction modality through a Scoping Review, as proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The research question was "What are the factors of success and/or failure found in bidding purchases for reverse auction modality?", and the databases used were Capes Journals, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and PubMed.
