Data quality
Summary
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
- There are sometimes organization references without associated entries in the parties array.
- Organization identifiers are not globally unique and cannot be linked to other datasets.
- There is a small number of blank or empty fields in the data which should not interfere with most use cases.
- Release id’s are linked to the release package they are contained within. Releases with identical information can have different release id’s if they were downloaded in different packages.

Access data
This OCDS dataset is available for download in JSON, Excel or CSV format. You can download the data for contracting processes in a specific year or for all time.
JSON
Each contracting process is represented as one line of JSON text in the .jsonl file.
The .jsonl file is compressed using Gzip. Windows users need 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the .gz file.
Excel
Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main sheet. Other sheets link to it via the _link_main column.
Excel files can have at most 1,048,576 rows. If a year is missing, it had too many rows.
