Braslia, 29 – The government has entered into a unified tender for the award of telephone service contracts for 367 units of the federal administration, which is expected to reduce almost half of the expenditures with the service. Consortium formed by Telefnica (Vivo), Oi and Telemar bought a lot that includes links between landline and mobile phones in So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Federal District, Cear, Paraba and Par. The contract was R $ 48 million
In other Brazilian states, Claro won another six lots for mobile telephony and one for fixed telephony, with contracts totaling about R $ 20 million. As a result, the government expects a saving of R $ 97.7 million in total telephony spending, which totaled R $ 213 million in 2018.
According to the Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Planning , Gleisson Rubin, more than 90% of the federal administration participated in the bid, including almost all departments and agencies such as Embrapa, IBGE and INSS . In addition to unifying competition, changes in the way of hiring services also contribute to lowering government costs.
In the case of the telephone call, for example, a major change was to stop contracting the fixed and mobile telephony providers separately to incur "combinations".
In the six states where there was competition – more than one fixed line provider, for example – an offer was made to contract both services, plus data services, into one packet. "As for citizens, carriers offer packages that are cheaper than individual services," added the secretary. For example, So Paulo's fixed-to-mobile connection has risen from R $ 0.60 to R $ 0.13 per minute. "This difference of one hundred per connection will save nearly R $ 100 million a year."
