How the Brazilian government buys waste collection

Household waste collection, street sweeping, final disposal, and collection of healthcare waste. These are long, high-value contracts, measured per ton or per kilometer. They require an environmental license for the operator and proven disposal in a licensed landfill — inspectors follow the waste transport manifest.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 38.11-4 (collection of non-hazardous waste). 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 Minas Gerais

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.
