Why is it important to know how to interpret this document?
Currently, there are many people who are participating in public tenders, but who have not completely read this material.
Because it is long and sometimes more dense, many candidates prefer to read summaries of them found on the internet, or do a skimming and identify only the important points such as dates and syllabus.
But, for those who want to do well in the contest, the first item to be done is to read the announcement. After all, it is in this document that you will find the main information about it.
And by having this information at hand, you can organize yourself better so that you can prepare for the contest and increase your chances of being approved.
What is the most important information in the notice?
In summary, a call for tenders can present various information to candidates. But, not always in a busy day-to-day do we have time to sit down and read all the information found there.
Therefore, it is interesting that you know the main items of the public notice that you need to read to prepare for the test, namely:
- Registration dates, exams and results;
- Program content of the test;
- Stages of the contest and tests to be applied;
- Values of registration fees and payment deadlines;
- Open positions and working hours;

So, these are the main information you need to read in the public notice to be more prepared for the test day.
How to find the notice of the desired tender?
In order for you to be able to access the information contained in the notice and interpret it, you need to know where to find this document.
Therefore, generally speaking, tender notices are published in the Official Gazettes of the states, on the websites of the organizing boards or on the main portals of the bodies involved in the creation of the tender.
Namely, the publication of the notice is always done at least 45 days before the application of the test so that all candidates can prepare for the contest.
How to interpret the information in the notice?
In short, in order for you to be able to interpret the information contained in the tender notice, you need to know the basic structure of the document.
Therefore, public notices are usually made up of 8 topics that help to better explain the process, namely:
- General provisions;
- Registrations;
- Positions available;
- Compensation and attributions;
- Requirements;
- Process Steps;
- Test content;
- Punctuation.
To facilitate understanding, we have separated below what each of these topics usually bring to candidates.
General provisions
First, every public notice always starts with a topic on general provisions. It is here that you will be introduced to the contest and you will know the organization that is running it, the bank organized, number of vacancies and other items.
It is also in this topic that you will see the expiry date of the selection. This period indicates until when the contest will be calling the candidates to fill positions.
In addition, it is important that you pay attention to the organizing bank. It is the company that is organizing the entire contest and is responsible for classifying the candidates.
By having her name, you can research more about this bank, what their processes are like and see the experience of other candidates who have held tenders with her. This can help in your contest preparation.
Registrations
Generally, after the general provisions, you will already be able to find a topic that talks about contest entries. Here you will find important information such as:
- Deadline to apply;
- Where to register;
- Registration fees;
- Documents to apply;
- Fee exemption.
Here it is important to pay attention to the place where the registrations will be held so that you can prepare for them.
If you apply online, you only need to fill out a form and sometimes upload photos of your documents. If you are in person, you may need to submit copies of your documents.
Available positions
In this topic, you can check the positions that the competition is offering, as well as the number of vacancies available for each classification, such as people with disabilities, wide competition or racial quotas.
Remuneration and assignments
Generally, right after the description of the positions, there may be a topic that talks about the remuneration of that position and the main activities that professionals carry out.
This topic is important to read so that you can see if the day-to-day job fits with your current skills.
Requirements
After the positions there may also be a topic to talk about the requirements to participate in the public tender.
This part is essential to be read so that you know if you can really participate in the selection of this public tender.
Process Steps
In this topic you will find all the information about the stages of the contest, mainly in relation to the types of tests applied.
Namely, there may be contests that only apply objective tests and others that have stages of discursive, physical and even psychological tests, as happens in some positions in the Civil or Military Police.
Therefore, this is one of the topics that you need to keep an eye on because it will help you when preparing for the test and also to analyze what you will face when registering for the contest.
Test content
In summary, the syllabus of your exam is also another essential topic that shows you the main topics that will be covered in the exam.
Here you can also find the number of questions that each topic will have and even their weight in your final score.
Thus, you can devote more time to studying more important topics than others to prepare well for the test.
Punctuation
Finally, in this topic you can analyze the points that each stage of the contest can offer you and also what score needs to be done to be considered approved in the public tender.
