Analyses of interviews are made through the use of a form in 25 out of 39 companies/entities in the State of Espírito Santo. The following is concluded: a) electronic trading reduces unit prices of products/services in biddings for it allows a larger amount of participants; b) the electronic trading reduces operational bidding costs when printing judicial notices and copies having little reference to manpower; c) the most relevant difficulties found are the lack of knowledge of the system, which is overcome through the intensification in trainings; d) the advantage with better performance is a largest competition of bidders, of which the main disadvantage is the loss of connection; meanwhile, the pointed consensus is that there was an improvement regarding the transparency of the process with the end of already-chosen suppliers. A new form of result investigation is suggested, which is restricted to the population analyzed.
