Objective: to analyze the influence that the past performance of suppliers has on the current ability to obtain new contracts in the Brazilian public sphere. Method: an innovative approach was adopted in the literature when analyzing the persistence of supplier performance through multivariate dynamic models. To carry out the quantitative analyses, estimation with the Negative Binomial distribution and the classic regression model by Ordinary Least Squares were used. Results: it was found that the greater the number of past contracts won, the better the supplier's performance in public procurement. In addition, it was observed that this influence varies according to the complexity of the market and the modality of the purchase process. Originality/ Relevance: the study innovates by pointing out indications that the use of past performance evaluation of bidders has the potential to be adapted for the public sector, which can influence the increase in the quality of the service provided or material acquired by the government. Theoretical/methodological contributions: the study corroborates the assumption by the Theory of Contracts by pointing out that suppliers with better performance tend to be reused, minimizing the risks of contractual breaches, but one should seek to improve the mechanisms so that the impact of past performance is higher in contracts that are more complex and require long-term relationships. Social/management contributions: the development of performance indicators that can be applied to supplier selection processes can stimulate the creation of new public policies to improve the management of public contracts
