WHAT IS A OSCIP?
OSCIP is an acronym still little known outside the network of entities that
operate in the so-called third sector. The subject began to draw attention since
it was enacted Law No. 9790/99, which regulates the relations between state
and society. First, we must clarify the meaning of the acronym. OSCIP mean
Civil Society Organization of Public Interest and the law provides a new form of
engagement, the partnership agreement, to bind the State to entities classified
as OSCIP.
With the Law No. 9790/99, also known as the Law of the Third Sector,
the government has put in place to build a new institutional framework that
enables the progressive changes in the design of government policies, in order
to transform them into public policies partnership between state and civil society
at all levels, with the incorporation of citizens' organizations in their
development, its implementation, its monitoring, in its assessment and its
review.
This was one of the justifications of the bill that the Executive sent to
Congress. The PL No. 4690, which resulted in Law No. 9790/99, looked
especially the financing of OSCIP. This is because the idea was to allow the
government could hire OSCIP without the bureaucracy within the laws as that of
8666/93, which deals with procurement, public bids and tough measures to
transfer public money to the private sector.
• the power of public order equipment, furniture, buildings and facilities for
use of their social activities;
• received from the public for sale (donation) of public goods (furniture and
equipment) for use for the benefit of its statutory objectives;
One thing is certain: where can the government hire certain action with
the private sector may also, if there are convenience of administration, promote
the adoption of a partnership agreement with OSCIP and even promote the
hiring of the same by the Administrative Contract subject to the rite of Federal
Law No. 8666/93, is to compete with other bidders or even to be exempted from
the bidding.
