Plateau State does not publish data that uses any OCDS extensions. They do publish some additional fields as a result of mapping errors, such as:

  • buyer/roles
  • tender/procurementCategory
  • awards/suppliers/roles

Additionally, Plateau State uses an additional codelist value in the Award Criteria codelist which appears to result from a data collection error:

  • -- Select Criteria --

  • Using some fields that were deprecated in OCDS 1.1
  • Using additional fields and codes as a result of mapping errors (described above)

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.

CSV

Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main.csv file. Other files link to it via the _link_main column.
