How the Brazilian government buys other goods and services

Not every contract fits the most common categories. This one covers specific subjects, specialized services, and one-off purchases. Reading the tender notice (edital) and the terms of reference (termo de referência) is even more important in these cases, because the specification is usually unique to that agency.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): varies by contract subject. 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 Maranhão

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.
