Bom Jesus das Selvas municipal procurement investigation

Overview

The Maranhão Public Prosecutor's Office (MPMA) recommended the suspension of an electronic bidding process in Bom Jesus das Selvas valued at approximately R$ 9.2 million for municipal vehicle fleet services. The MP identified several procedural irregularities, such as references to a non-existent engineering technical report, incorrect invoicing dates, and unexplained changes to appeal deadlines.

Additionally, the MP requested the suspension of a R$ 2.6 million contract linked to the same bidding process, alleging possible favoritism, collusion, and unequal treatment of bidders. While Mayor Franklin Duarte’s administration acknowledged that the cited engineering document did not exist and stated that invoicing errors had been corrected, the prosecutor ordered the municipality to halt all related expenditures and contract executions pending further investigation.
