Electronic Competitive Bidding: open tenders (Concorrência Eletrônica)

2,000+ open tenders in Brazil under this method.

Competitive bidding (concorrência) is used for public works, engineering services and larger or more complex contracts, where the award can consider technical quality and not only price. In the electronic form the whole session runs online.

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.
