How the Brazilian government buys building maintenance

Small repairs, painting, plumbing, building electrical work, and pest control. Ongoing maintenance contracts work on a service-call basis, with a table of services and a defined response time — very popular with small engineering firms.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 43.30-4 (finishing works). 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 Brazil

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.

What do I need to sell building maintenance to the Brazilian government?

The tender notice always has the final word.

Do I need to be based in Brazil to bid?

No. Electronic tenders are open to companies from anywhere in the country, and Law 14,133/2021 prohibits requiring a local address as a condition to participate. In practice, freight, delivery time and local support affect the price — which is why regional suppliers are often competitive. Foreign companies should read how foreign companies can bid.
