How the Brazilian government buys water and sanitation

Drinking water delivered by tanker truck during droughts, well drilling, water treatment, and water networks. These are sensitive contracts, often emergency ones, measured per cubic meter delivered or per meter drilled, and they require a water-use permit (outorga) from the water resources authority.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 36.00-6 (water collection and distribution). 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.
