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

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 São Paulo

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.

Do I need to be based in São Paulo to bid?

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.
