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
- Complete legal and tax qualification
- Technical qualification compatible with the contract
- Extra attention to the terms of reference
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 Paraná
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.
