How the Brazilian government buys electricity and generators
Electricity supply on the free energy market, generator rental, and installation of solar photovoltaic systems — the latter increasingly popular with city governments because of the savings on the power bill. Solar projects require a responsible technical professional and approval from the local power utility.
What the tender notice usually requires
- Responsible technical professional with an ART (technical responsibility record)
- Approval from the power utility
- Warranty on modules and inverters
Typical activity code (CNAE): 35.14-0 (electricity distribution). 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 Mato Grosso do Sul
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.
