The Court of Accounts of the State of Paraná (TCE-PR) has intervened to suspend multiple bidding processes in the state.

In Apucarana, the court halted a R$ 2.23 million tender for Christmas decoration rentals following complaints regarding bidding rules and price research discrepancies. The municipality defended the single-lot approach as necessary for integrated maintenance, attributing price errors to drafting mistakes.

In Curitiba, the TCE-PR issued a cautionary suspension of a public transport bidding process. The suspension was prompted by concerns over potential cost duplication and overlapping service lines between municipal transport and metropolitan services. Officials from Urbanização de Curitiba (Urbs) argued the model is intended for metropolitan integration, allowing single-fare travel between Curitiba and surrounding cities.
