The performance in the biddings has an impact both on State expenditures and on the quality of services provided to society. This research was developed to evaluate the perception of employees of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) regarding the bidding process. Embrapa is a public company, responsible for the development of agricultural research, which uses the bidding process to carry out its purchases. To achieve the objective of this work, a descriptive, explanatory and exploratory research with a qualitative approach was carried out. In a first step, bibliographic and documentary research was used, in a second step, a questionnaire was applied with the main parties involved in the Embrapa bidding process. The results expose the employees' perceptions regarding the strategic dimensions and the performance of public procurement. Most employees perceived the tenders as a lengthy and bureaucratic process, with the acquisition of products of questionable quality. However, they realized that the process is transparent, that purchases contribute to the development of their functional activities and to the achievement of the organization's objectives. Given the findings of this work, propositional actions related to the strategic dimensions of Embrapa's purchases were recommended, with the aim of improving the process.
