This page catalogs major open public procurement data sources worldwide, documenting their geographic and temporal coverage, update frequency, data formats, indicator frameworks, and availability of replication code. The information supports data discovery and assessment of source suitability for analytical projects.
| Source | Geographic Coverage | Time Coverage | Regularity of Updates | Scope | Format | Is Processed? | Replication Code Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opentender | EU + TED + GE, UK, MK, CH, RS | Depends on country, but up to the beginning of 2025 | 6 months | Transparency + integrity indicators | json, csv, ocds, ndjson | Yes | No |

E.g., red flags for integrity, or market performance, or sustainability. Yet these indicators are not validated against proxies ⇒ we don't know if these indicators actually work + they are not very flexible / adjustable. | csv, excel, json | Yes and no. E.g., all OpenTender countries are republished from OpenTender but in non-flattened format. The rest is pretty much raw unfiltered data separated into respective fields with some basic touch-ups. | Yes, there is a code to download data (only for data in OCDS format) |
| FCDO/DFID Low and Middle-Income Datasets | CL, CO, IN, ID, JM, KE, MX, PY, UG, UY | Depends on the country, on average ~2010-2019 | One time thing | Corruption | dta, csv | Yes | Yes (GitHub) |
