Abstract

This paper introduces Quanto Custa, a system developed by the Prosecution Service of the State of Minas Gerais in partnership with the Federal University of Minas Gerais to facilitate the querying and analysis of prices for public procurement items in the state. The system integrates data from bids, contracts, and invoices, and uses external sources such as ANVISA, ANP, and CEASA-MG to establish reference prices. Through features including item disambiguation and price variation analysis, Quanto Custa aims to enhance transparency and combat fraud in public procurement.
