A contracting process has several stages: tendering, awarding, contracting and implementation. You can learn about the contracting stages in this tutorial.
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
The original publication includes some broken JSON files excluded from the data registry.
Some tenders have the tender/tenderPeriod/startDate later than tender/tenderPeriod/endDate.
Unlikely dates like 1900-01-01T00:00:00-06:00 were found in:
release/tender/tenderPeriod/startDate
release/awards/date
release/contracts/dateSigned
There are discrepancies between the Organization’s identifiers and the array of parties.
There are duplicated identifiers in fields like:
releases/awards/items
releases/contracts/implementation/transactions
releases/tender/tenderers

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.
