How the Brazilian government buys courses and training
Training for public employees and courses for the general public. This includes registrations for external events — which often go through a sole-source award (inexigibilidade) when only the organizer offers that content — and closed classes contracted per class hour.
What the tender notice usually requires
- Instructor résumés
- Course plan and total hours
- Certificates for participants
Typical activity code (CNAE): 85.99-6 (professional training). 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 Pernambuco
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.
