How the Brazilian government buys equipment maintenance

Preventive and corrective maintenance contracts for equipment: pumps, elevators, generators, industrial kitchen equipment, scales, and instruments that need calibration. They are usually continuing contracts, with scheduled visits, a technical report for each visit, and a short deadline for corrective service calls.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 33.12-1 (maintenance of machinery and equipment). 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.
