Data quality
Summary
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
Some contracts have the contract/period/startDate later than contract/period/endDate
For the releases that have at least one contract, the release date is earlier than the contracts/dateSigned
Striking combinations were found in tender/status and contracts/status; e.g. tender/status = ‘unsuccessful’ and contracts/status = ‘pending’
