Latvia: OpenTender

The OpenTender platform – run by the Government Transparency Institute – collects, transforms and publishes contracting data from 35 jurisdictions: 27 European Union (EU) member states, EU Institutions, Georgia, Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and the UK. The data come from Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) and from national procurement portals.

The data from TED covers contracts whose monetary values exceed the thresholds set by EU directives. The thresholds are adjusted for inflation every 2 years. This data is supplemented by data from the national procurement portal (Iepirkumu uzraudzības birojs), to cover contracts whose monetary values are below those thresholds.

We have not yet prepared a data quality summary for this dataset.

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.
