The Brazilian government has established a price reduction for products and services provided by Oracle as part of a broader exercise to rationalize technology spending in the federal administration.
The decrease in prices was set out in the latest corporate agreement between the federal government, represented by digital government secretary Luis Felipe Monteiro and Oracle account director for the federal government, Tony Gomes Tonete.
Valid for one year from July 13, 2021, the agreement establishes that the technology supplier must comply with the standard list of products and services and the corresponding amounts set out by the government.
The prices outlined in a catalog published alongside the agreement mean a reduction of 32% in spending by the federal government in relation to the prices defined in 2019, when catalogs were introduced to standardize and reduce IT spending in tenders across the federal administration. The first agreement with Oracle resulted in a price reduction of 31.59%, according to the Ministry of Economy.
