This article analyzes the applicability of Law No. 14.133/2021, known as the "New Bidding Law," in comparison with Law No. 8.666/1993, which regulated public bidding in Brazil for nearly three decades. Using a qualitative approach based on bibliographic research, the study explores the main changes and innovations introduced by the new legislation, such as the inclusion of competitive dialogue and greater integration of technology in the bidding process. The results indicate that Law No. 14.133/2021 aims to reduce bureaucracy and modernize the system, promoting greater transparency and efficiency in public procurement. However, challenges remain in the implementation phase, as public agencies are still adapting to the new requirements. This study contributes to the academic debate by providing a detailed comparative analysis and highlighting the impacts of the new legislation in the context of Brazilian public management.
