Brazil public tenders API FAQ

How do I find government tenders in Brazil?

Brazilian agencies publish tenders (licitações) on the national public procurement portal (PNCP). Send a keyword describing what you sell, optionally with a state, procurement method and level of government, and the API returns the matching tenders that are open or about to open.

Can foreign companies take part in Brazilian public tenders?

In many cases yes, typically through a legal representative in Brazil, but the requirements are set in each tender notice and vary by agency. The API returns the official link so you can read the notice in full.

What procurement methods are used in Brazil?

The most common is the electronic reverse auction (Pregão Eletrônico). Others include competitive bidding (Concorrência), direct purchase (Dispensa) and sole source (Inexigibilidade), all defined by Law 14,133/2021. Filter by any of them in the modalidade field.

Does the API return closed or awarded tenders?

No. It returns only tenders that are open for proposals or scheduled to open. Each one carries an open flag and the number of days until the proposal deadline.

How can I get daily alerts for new Brazilian tenders?

Schedule the API on Apify with your keywords and filters, and add a webhook to push new results to Slack, email, Make or Zapier.
