After contracts without bidding, André Mendonça announces departure from institute that has business in Piauí

Portal O Dia3 September 2026 at 15:52

Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça announced his departure from Instituto Iter, an organization that maintains contracts signed without bidding in several Brazilian states. The decision occurs amid questions about the regularity of these partnerships.

Piauí appears as the third state with the highest volume of contracts signed by Instituto Iter, behind only two other unspecified states in the article. The total values reach R$ 10.8 million in contracts carried out throughout the country.

Instituto Iter is the institution to which André Mendonça was linked and from which he is now disassociating. The contracts without bidding raise doubts about transparency in public procurement processes.

With this departure, André Mendonça seeks to distance himself from the controversies involving the institute's business in the states where it operates, including Piauí, which represents a significant portion of the contracts signed by the organization.
