Public Procurement, Companies, and Contracting Networks: Sources, Structure and Documentation

Description

01_public_procurement: Harmonised contract-level public procurement data for Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, and Poland. Records are organised at the bid level (one row per winning bid for a lot within a tender), with tender, lot, and bid identifiers, buyer and supplier identifiers and names, procedure type, publication and decision dates, bid prices, CPV product codes, and NUTS codes, together with a set of tender-level integrity (red-flag) indicators. The source datasets are compiled by the Government Transparency Institute (GTI) from official national procurement sources and, for EU member states, Tender Electronic Daily (TED), and processed according to a common schema, as published on opentender.eu. The uploaded datasets contain one file per country. 02_public_procurement_with_sanctions: Harmonised contract-level public procurement data (collected and processed following the steps and schema outlined for 01_public_procurement) for Albania, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary, linked to publicly available judicial, arbitration, and debarment (blacklist) records at the level of the economic operator. The uploaded datasets contain one file per country. 03_networks: Bipartite supplier–buyer contracting network edgelists derived from the public procurement data for all eight countries (Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Poland). Each row is one edge linking a contracting authority (buyer node, prefixed B_) to an economic operator (supplier node, prefixed S_), with two edge weights: the number of distinct contracts between the pair and their total value in euros. Networks are constructed for the entire observed period. The uploaded datasets contain one file per country. The data has been collected within the framework of the: NeT-RoL project - Networks and the Rule of Law: Uncovering Socio-Economic Outcome NET-ROL has received funding from the European Union’s HORIZON-CL2-2024-DEMOCRACY-01 under grant agreement No 101177405
