How the Brazilian government buys health services

City governments contract medical consultations, on-call shifts, elective surgeries, and therapies to supplement their own health network. Much of this goes through accreditation (credenciamento) — instead of choosing a single winner, the government qualifies everyone who meets the requirements and distributes the demand among them. Registration with the relevant professional council is required and, for companies, a responsible technical professional (responsável técnico).

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 86.30-5 (outpatient medical activities). 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?

No. Electronic tenders are open to companies from anywhere in the country, and Law 14,133/2021 prohibits requiring a local address as a condition to participate. 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.
