Electronic Auction (asset sale): open tenders (Leilão Eletrônico)

150 open tenders in Brazil under this method.

An auction (leilão) is used to sell government assets: used vehicles, real estate, decommissioned equipment, seized goods. Here participants are buying from the government, and the highest bid wins. Inspect the asset first: it is sold as is.

Tender notices are published in Portuguese, so descriptions appear as the agency wrote them. Search with English or Portuguese keywords — common English terms are translated automatically. New to Brazil? Start with how foreign companies can bid.
