Data quality
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
There are quality issues relating to documents: a number of invalid URLs in tender/documents; and some documents do not have a format specified. Users will not be able to access all tender documentation.
Some organization data is incorrect or missing, including: non-unique id values in party/id fields; placeholder identifier/id values (e.g. “0”); organization references without an associated entry in the parties array; and inconsistent roles between organization references and the parties array. Users will not in all cases be able to uniquely identify all organizations in the related contracting processes and their roles.
There are a number of blank/empty fields.
