How the Brazilian government buys road signage

Traffic signs, road markings, traffic lights, and speed bumps. Work must comply with the CTB (Brazilian Traffic Code) and the standards of Contran (the national traffic council), and execution is usually measured per square meter painted or per unit installed.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 42.13-8 (urban infrastructure works). 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.
