Of the TCE-PE (Court of Auditors), disregarded conclusions of an audit report produced by the technical area of the Court that saw evidence of overpricing in the purchase of tracheal aspiration system by the Health Department of the Pandemic.
The audit was opened from a 2020 complaint by former state deputy Priscila Krause (PSD), now deputy governor of Pernambuco.
She questioned the direct hiring, with waiver of bidding, 12,021 closed tracheal aspiration system units (SFA), which aspires secretions in patients connected to an artificial fan. Each cost $ 430 and the total was $ 5,169,030.
The case occurred during management (PSB) in Recife City Hall.
The complaint cited evidence of overpricing, the choice of two small members of the same family group to supply all units and the purchase, due to bidding, units in overestimated quantity, among other points.
In July 2021, the TCE-PE technical area concluded that the acquisition of SFAs was backed by nonexistent planning, “preceded by precarious justification for the supplier’s choice, not proof of market price, or the company’s supply capacity.” “All of these flaws direct to the occurrence of overdue and overpricing,” they wrote.
Auditor Léa Regina Prado de Brito recommended the accountability of former Secretary of Health Jaílson de Barros Correia, former managers and two companies for evidence of overpricing. The amount that will be return would be R $ 4.18 million.
In the judgment of the case, approved at the session last Tuesday (20), the rapporteur tried to regular with except the belt accounts and one of the managers, João Maurício de Almeida. It also excluded responsibility from two other managers, Felipe Soares Bittencourt and Paulo Henrique Motta Mattoso.
The counselor indicated that the audit could not prove that there was waste for the effective loss of SFA units bought by the city because of the non -use or improper destination of the contracted items.
Also criticized the calculation of the “market reference through the arithmetic mean [média aparada] of surveyed prices “and assessed that the audit used a sample with reduced representativeness.
Neves also made nine recommendations to the current managers of the Recife Health Department, including avoiding, whenever possible, “signing contracts resulting from emergency dismissal procedures with companies that do not have adequate organizational conditions, technical-operational capacity, expertise in the area and human and human resources capable of satisfactorily to meet agreed terms.”
