Sumario:The Circular Economy (CE) appears in the mid-1970s as a regenerative and restorative system, contrary to the linear system, the principles of the CE value the constant circularity of materials and components in the economy, defending the maximum use of its value. In this context, the general objective of this work is to theoretically discuss Circular Public Procurement (CPC) as an inducer of the transitory process towards a circular economy, having as unfolding the specific objectives of analyzing the complex characteristics shared between Sustainable Public Procurement (CPS) and CPC and identifying which technical criteria of the CPS celebrated by the Brazilian public administration are oriented to circularity. For this, it adopts a qualitative methodology, using explanatory descriptive research techniques, data collection, bibliographic review and documental analysis. From this methodology, it was possible to identify that CPS and EC complement each other, introducing a new concept in the discussion: the CPC, a purchasing process carried out by the public administration that encourages the transition to a sustainable economy, with new patterns of consumption and production. From the adoption of sustainable criteria in the bidding process, the public administration, in addition to being a regulator and regulator, becomes a direct agent of change, reflecting on market changes and encouraging companies to innovate their processes to adapt to new sustainable demands.
