Key details
On November 6, 2025, the city of Corumbá hosted the launch of the Contrata+Brasil platform, a new federal government initiative designed to simplify and democratize public contract access for microentrepreneurs (MEIs) across Brazil. The event took place at the Centro Sebrae Pantanal, with support from Corumbá’s municipal government through its Secretariat of Economic and Sustainable Development.
Contrata+Brasil enables public agencies at the federal, state, and municipal levels to directly publish their contracting needs, allowing registered micro and small business owners to submit proposals quickly and efficiently, bypassing traditional and complex bidding procedures. This streamlined process reduces bureaucracy, expands local business opportunities, fosters economic growth, and strengthens the public procurement system.
Among its key features, the platform sends alerts about new contracting opportunities via WhatsApp, enhancing accessibility for microentrepreneurs to track and participate in tenders. Businesses interested in joining can register through a dedicated link provided by Sebrae.
According to organizers, the platform prioritizes small-scale entrepreneurs, aiming to ease the sales journey, generate employment and income, and improve efficiency and cost savings in public administration. Contrata+Brasil represents a significant step by the federal government to empower local businesses and boost Brazil’s economic resilience through simplified public procurement processes.
