Get to know the state-owned company act

The State-Owned Company Act (13,303/16) provides for the legal status of government-owned companies and mixed-capital companies and their subsidiaries within the Federative Republic of Brazil, the states, the Federal District, and the municipalities.

Sanctioned on June 30th, 2016, the Act is a regulatory framework for these companies’ performance and sets procedures and responsibilities for them. As a mixed-capital company, we are part of the companies governed by the State-Owned Company Act, as are all our Brazilian subsidiaries.

One of the main themes introduced by the new legislation is the regulation of hiring, with changes and innovations related to the norms Petrobras currently follows. In this regard, Act 13,303/16 determines that all contracting must be carried out, as a rule, through public bidding. This means that hiring will be made through bids that will be open to any interested party that can meet the requirements of the bid. This increases supplier participation and transparency of bidding process and public management.

The legislation revokes article 67 of Law 9.478/97. served as the basis of validity for Decree 2745/98, which, in turn, approved the Simplified Bidding Procedure Regulation, and Petrobras Manual for Hiring (MPC)

Material Supply Conditions

The Material Supply Conditions (CFM) regulate the supply of Goods and Services associated with Petrobras. They aim to improve our relationship with the supplier market.

Our Executive Board approved the CFM 2018 on January 11th, 2018. Its application follows the implementation schedule of the State-Owned Company Act and Petrobras's Bid and Contract Regulation (RLCP).

The main novelty introduced by the CFM 2018 were brought about by article 76 of Act 13,303/16, which provides for the supplier’s liability for damages caused directly to Petrobras or to third parties, regardless of intent or fault. A few items related to the suppliers’ obligations and responsibilities were modified due to the significant change introduced by the Act.

Therefore, the CFM 2018 clarify that:

If it is necessary to remove the good, the supplier must remove it where it was supplied, as set forth in the contract;
The supplier will not be liable for damages caused to Petrobras or to third parties when its conduct was not the cause of the damages.
