Data quality

Summary

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

  • Contracts for which the award referenced in .awardID does not exist.
  • Discrepancies between organization identifiers in the data and in the IDNO register
  • All contracts have status ‘pending’

The dataset has minor issues that should not interfere with most uses. They include:

  • Blank and empty fields, including:
    • bids/details/documents/description
    • tender/items/deliveryAddress/description
    • awards/description
    • tender/documents/description
    • bids/details/documents
  • Placeholder values, including:
    • bids/details/documents/description
    • bids/details/statusDetails
    • awards/statusDetails
    • tender/lots/statusDetails
  • Awards and contracts for incomplete tenders
  • Tender amendments with a date which is before the tenderPeriod/startDate
  • Address data is provided using the addressDetails extension rather than the address.locality, address.region and address.country fields.

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.

CSV

Each contracting process is represented as one row in the main.csv file. Other files link to it via the _link_main 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.
