Uganda: Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA)
The Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act of 2003 set up the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) as the principal regulatory body for public procurement and disposal of public assets in Uganda. In 2021 the act was amended to provide for electronic records and communication and to provide for the aggregation of procurement requirements, among other provisions. Interactive visualizations and full datasets are published on the portal.
210 government entities are enrolled on the portal, but not all of them have procurement data across all the years.

Data available
A contracting process has several stages: tendering, awarding, contracting and implementation. You can learn about the contracting stages in this tutorial.
These counts are the number of JSON objects across all contracting processes. Parties, tenderers and suppliers are unique within a contracting process, but can be repeated across contracting processes. You can learn about data publication in this tutorial.

Data quality
The dataset has some quality issues to take into account, notably:
- Organization identifiers are used inconsistently, with variations of the same name being assigned different identifiers.
- There are party roles without corresponding references.
- Some date fields have filler values.
The dataset has minor issues that should not interfere with most uses. They include:
- There are some null and empty values in address fields.
- Release tags do not always reflect the data in the release.
- No item classification information or documents are included.

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.
