How the Brazilian government buys accreditation
Accreditation (credenciamento) is used when the government can contract all interested parties that meet the requirements, instead of choosing a single winner. It is widely used for health services, hospital beds, auto repair shops, family farming (agricultura familiar), and civil society organizations. There is no price competition: the price is the one in the published table, and those who qualify join the queue among which the demand is distributed.
What the tender notice usually requires
- Meet the requirements of the public call notice
- Complete qualification documents
- Accept the published price table
Typical activity code (CNAE): varies by contract subject. Make sure the company's registered
business purpose covers the activity before bidding — an incompatible CNAE is grounds for disqualification.
How to prepare to bid in Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
Follow new publications daily: between the notice and the bid deadline there are usually about eight business
days, and much of that time goes into gathering documents. Download the tender notice and the terms of reference
from each tender page, check the specification item by item and work out your minimum price before the bidding
phase — including taxes, freight, payment terms and the margin that makes the contract viable.
Micro and small businesses (ME/EPP) get preferential treatment under Brazilian law: a tie preference, extra time
to fix tax certificates and, in smaller purchases, exclusive participation. See the step-by-step guide
how to participate in a tender.
