Data quality
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
- The field
contracts/items/attributes/iduses an integer instead of a string. - There are releases where the end dates are earlier than the start dates.
- The data includes inconsistent names between references to the organization and the array of
parties.

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 main_ocid column. In general, each sheet is linked to its parent sheet via the [sheet_name]_id column.
Excel files can have at most 1,048,576 rows. If a year is missing, it had too many rows. Download the CSV files, instead.
CSV
Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main.csv file. Other files link to it via the main_ocid column. In general, each file is link to its parent file via the [file_name]_id column.
The .csv files are archived using tar and compressed using Gzip. Windows users need 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the .tar.gz file.
