How the Brazilian government buys IT services

Maintenance of computer equipment, managed print services, internet links, structured cabling, and hosting. These are continuing contracts, with monthly measurement and defined service levels. Local companies have an edge when the tender notice (edital) requires on-site support within a short timeframe.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 62.09-1 (IT technical support). 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 Brazil

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.

What do I need to sell IT services to the Brazilian government?

Besides the standard qualification documents (a CNPJ with a compatible activity code, federal, social security, labor, state and municipal clearance certificates, and financial statements), this category usually requires: Technical capacity certificate compatible with the contract; Team with certifications when required; Service-level agreement (SLA) for support; Continuing contract with monthly measurement. The tender notice always has the final word.

Do I need to be based in Brazil 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.
