This article aimed at comparing the rules concerning the appointment of public agents to perform the functions required by Law no. 8.666/93 and Law no. 10.520/02 to those required by Law no. 14.133/21, setting out relevant concepts for understanding the new rules and demonstrating the importance of qualifying public agents and of government schools and courts of auditors’ schools within the context of Law no. 14.133/21. Therefore, legal provisions about the functions inherent to bids and contracts were listed, as well as examples of how they are interpreted and applied by different public entities and doctrinal conceptions which contribute for their comprehension. Legal and theoretical aspects of qualifying public agents and the role of government schools and courts of auditors’ schools were also presented, showing their importance for a wholesome application of the new Bidding and Public Contracts Law.
