How the Brazilian government buys consulting services

Accounting, legal, and tax advisory services and management support. Specialized technical services may go through a sole-source award (inexigibilidade) when the provider has recognized expertise (notória especialização), but the rule is a regular competitive process, with certificates for equivalent work done for other public entities.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 70.20-4 (business management consulting). 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.
