Based on the provided page source the XPath for submenu could be like:

"//td[contains(text(), 'Pesquisa Contratos')]"

and in order to click it you have to:

  • 1 Click (or hover) the parent menu

    There might be a better way to locate the menu item, but you can try to use the partial text:

    to click:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, 
"//*[contains(text(), 'De Contratos E Cart')]"))).click()

    to hover:

    menu_item = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, 
"//*[contains(text(), 'De Contratos E Cart')]")))
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(menu_item ).perform()

  • 2 Wait for the submenu element to be clickable and click it

    WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, 
"//td[contains(text(), 'Pesquisa Contratos')]"))).click()

imports

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
