Abstract

The purpose of the research was to interpret on the contributions of an open government for the transparent management of the bidding process in public procurement; the design of the research is given from a qualitative approach and inductive method, with a level of descriptive depth; in addition to documentary, field and non-experimental type; on the other hand,  a categorization process was developed based on a hermeneutic process, initially starting from  an analysis strategy that was based on the phases proposed by the Grounded Theory, this in order to give interpretative form to the discourse expressed by the interviewees -academic experts and researchers- through a semi-structured interview, applied in depth mode. Among the findings found are descriptors that give way to a proposal of good managerial praxis, which these descriptors are the product of categorization which are part of the interpretation given by the researchers. Among the main reflections are the need to promote an intelligent tendering process, to have a professional human team of quality and well paid, and with formal policies of visible information.
