Besides core OCDS fields, OSCE also publishes other relevant information through extensions, such as Currency name and Exchange rate when the price of goods or services is expressed in foreign currencies, Item total value to indicate the total amount of awarded items, Contract completion to indicate the contract termination date and its final amount, in addition to Department extension, Tender information among others.
Data quality
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
- Some organizations listed in “tenderer” have duplicate identifiers, which also are duplicated in the “parties” section.
- Some contracts do not have a status.
- Some additional codes added by the publisher in the “documentType” field are not documented in the publication policy.
- In some cases, award information is not linked to contract information, and vice versa (contracts not linked to award information).

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. Download the CSV files, instead.
