How the Brazilian government buys vehicle maintenance
Mechanical repairs, bodywork, and replacement parts for the public fleet. The most common format is the highest discount on a parts price table (Audatex/Molicar) combined with the hourly labor rate. Tender notices (editais) usually require a repair shop within the municipality or within a set radius, with capacity to service several vehicles at the same time.
What the tender notice usually requires
- Repair shop in the municipality or within a set radius
- Discount on a reference price table
- Warranty on services and parts
- Capacity to service several vehicles at once
Typical activity code (CNAE): 45.20-0 (vehicle maintenance and repair). 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 Piauí
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.
