France: Direction interministérielle du numérique et du système d'information et de communication de l'État (DINSIC)
The Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Recovery collects, processes and publishes data in various formats including OCDS.
The ministry collects data from the following data sources:
- Data from the DGFiP Market PES
- Data collected by the AIFE DUME API
- Data from the Achatpublic.com buyer profile made available via the AIFE DUME API
- Data from the Dematis buyer profile facilitating the downloading of customer data (e-marchespublics.com )
- Data published on the Grand Lyon Open Data portal
- Data published on the AWS buyer profile ( marches-publics.info ), extracted and published manually by Colin Maudry on data.gouv.fr
The data is not exhaustive: some portals are not harvested yet.
The decree of April 14, 2017, amended by the decree of July 27, 2018, entered into force on October 1, 2018, obliged the 70,000 French public buyers (communities, ministries, public hospitals, etc. ) to publish essential data of their public contracts on their buyer profile for contracts over 40,000 euros.

There is one additional field, decpUID, which is the unique identifier for the corresponding record in the source data, Données essentielles de la commande publique (DECP).
Data quality
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
- There are some releases with unlikely dates, including years 5021 and 2921.
- There are a few organizations with non-unique identifiers due to data source issues, so it is not always possible to uniquely identify organizations.
- Release tags do not always reflect the data that is contained within releases

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.
