Public procurement and contracts
A public procurement process needs to leave a comprehensible trail from the need through performance and audit. Transparency does not end at contract award and does not allow a material institutional obligation to be hidden behind contractual secrecy.
Current limit. There are no official tender procedures, winning suppliers, contracts, values or payments published at this stage. The Procurement module in Candeia OS is currently an institutional demonstration interface.

Relevant partiesWho procures and who assumes the obligation.
Value or economic criterionTotal public cost or method of determination, where publishable.
DurationTerm, extensions and closure.
ProcedureHow the selection occurred and which controls were applied.
Responsible authorityAuthority and agents responsible for the decision and oversight.
AmendmentsAmendments and changes do not erase the previous version.
Exit and auditContinuity, portability and auditability.
Preventive review
For material procurement involving a related party, the proposal assigns the Court of Audit preventive review of legality and integrity before an irreversible obligation is created.
Secrecy does not erase the contract
Security or trade secrets may justify redacting detail, but not concealing the contract's existence, total public cost, a relevant conflict, an exit obligation or a limitation on audit.

Procurements will be published when the process is active
This area does not yet contain official procedures. When Candeia has real procurement and contracts, the listing must originate from the competent records and preserve a verifiable history.
