Data quality

The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:

  • The fields procurementMethod and mainProcurementCategory use values that are not present in their codelist
  • id is missing but required within awards, contracts, items and tender
  • Some fields use an incorrect format, for example:
    • parties/contactPoint/telephone
    • parties/contactPoint/faxNumber
    • parties/address/postalCode
    • tender/awardPeriod/maxExtentDate
    • tender/minValue/amount
    • awards/contractPeriod/maxExtentDate

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 main_ocid column. In general, each sheet is linked to its parent sheet via the [sheet_name]_id 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.

CSV

Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main.csv file. Other files link to it via the main_ocid column. In general, each file is link to its parent file via the [file_name]_id column.

The .csv files are archived using tar and compressed using Gzip. Windows users need 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip to decompress the .tar.gz file.
