UK procurement data is more open than ever, but where do you start?

Our colleague @milamila07 has written a practical guide to analyzing Find a Tender Service data, from accessing the data to exploring competition, SMEs, direct awards & contract value.

When reconstruction is top down, communities wait to be chosen.
Ukraine’s DREAM ecosystem is changing that.
Used by 89% of Ukrainian communities, it helps communities propose projects & track public investment from planning to procurement and monitoring.

2/ New analysis with @IISD_ELP: the data to fix this already exists. The question is how to connect it so it’s usable and comparable over time.

1/ Europe wants sustainable public procurement to deliver real outcomes. Measurement hasn’t caught up. Lots of systems track “green” labels, not what was bought and what changed.

Public contracts should create growth. In Colombia, CREDERE used open contracting data to connect SMEs that won contracts with lenders offering credit/contract-backed finance. The pilot reached nearly half of 2024 contract-winning SMEs, data gaps remain.

En Paraguay, @reAccionpy está monitoreando cómo los municipios invierten en infraestructura escolar para que los estudiantes cuenten con las mejores condiciones para aprender. Revísalo acá: https://t.co/vLGgtd4186 #contratacionesabiertas

📍 Este Ranking fue construido a partir de meses de revisión de contratos, datos públicos y verificación ciudadana.

Entre 2020 y 2025, analizamos cómo invirtieron los municipios en infraestructura educativa y si esa inversión llegó primero a las escuelas que más la necesitaban. 🏫

Detrás de cada puesto hay decisiones, prioridades y escuelas que siguen esperando. Entrá a la app FOCO y conocé en qué puesto quedó tu municipio: https://t.co/n93WU9VL2t 📲

Day 2 of the #GlobalPartnershipsConference.

“New partnerships need more than ambition. They need the systems, data and accountability to turn public money into public value.” @GavinHayman_GW

That’s why #opencontracting belongs in conversations on finance, tech and delivery.

TI-Kenya, in partnership with the Business Registration Service (BRS) and the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority - PPRA, convened a joint cluster meeting for the Open Government Partnership (OGP), Beneficial Ownership (BO) and Open Contracting (OC) clusters in Nairobi bringing together key stakeholders to help strengthen transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in governance and open contracting.

The meeting reviewed progress under Kenya’s 5th National Action Plan (NAP V), with discussions focused on:
✅ Enhancing beneficial ownership transparency and data interoperability
✅ Improving open contracting systems and access to procurement information
✅ Strengthening feedback and accountability mechanisms
✅ Validating the Beneficial Ownership Transparency Toolkit

This session also assessed the implementation of cluster milestones and generated recommendations to refine commitments ahead of the NAP V mid-term review.

TI Kenya is committed to advancing open governance reforms that promote integrity, accountability, and public trust in procurement and contracting processes.

This #OpenGovWeek, we’re joining the OGP community to mark #OGP15. Open gov becomes real when people can see how public money is spent. That’s why open contracting matters from school meals, to roads & climate action. Let's celebrate reformers worldwide: https://t.co/EM2T6XrWmI

Huge milestone for Nigeria.

Europe’s green procurement ambition has a measurement problem.
Most systems track whether a tender was tagged “green” not whether it cut emissions.
Our new analysis with @IISD_ELP shows the data to start fixing this already exists.

Medicine?
In Brazil, procurement data often hides the answer in messy free-text descriptions making medicine price comparison difficult at scale.

1/ Tanzania’s NeST shows what “locally owned, data-driven” e-procurement can deliver: an end-to-end platform integrating 20 government services, used by 62,000 procuring entities nationwide.

2/ Data is live and searchable (plans, tenders, awards, underrepresented suppliers). PPRA analysis shows tendering is 30% faster: 80 days vs 116.
