Italy: Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport
The OpenData project by the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport publishes notices, tenders and tender results of public contracts in the infrastructure and transport sectors through the Public Contracts Service database. The OCDS data publication is available through their API.
The Public Contracts Service database is a key component of the OpenData project, managed by the General Directorate for Regulation and Public Contracts. It serves as a repository for notices, tenders, and results of public contracts in the infrastructure and transport sectors. The service helps meet legal requirements for transparency and information sharing as set out in the Public Contracts Code, Legislative Decree 50/2016. The service covers:
- Publishing notices, announcements, and results of public contracts for construction, services, and supplies (according to articles 29 and 73 of the Public Contracts Code and the Decree from December 2, 2016).
- Releasing biennial procurement plans for goods and services, and triennial plans for public works projects, including their annual updates (as per article 21 of the Public Contracts Code and a decree dated January 16, 2018, no. 14).
- Disclosing the documents mentioned in Article 29, paragraph 1, of the Public Contracts Code.
The Public Contracts Service also publishes data for unrealized works and infrastructure projects.

Data quality
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
- Some of the dates relating to stages of the contracting process do not follow a coherent timeline.
buyer/iddoes not match itsparties.id- Some organizations in the parties section are not referenced, e.g. a procuring entity listed in the parties section is not referenced in the tender section
- There is some duplication of party ids and supplier ids

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.
