Open Contracting Data Standard

Governments around the world spend an estimated US$13 trillion through contracts every year. Yet, contracting information is often unavailable for public scrutiny.

Le Standard de Données sur la Commande Publique Ouverte (OCDS) permet la divulgation de données et de documents à toutes les étapes d'un processus de commande publique en définissant un modèle commun de données. Il a été créé pour accompagner les organisations dans l'amélioration de la transparence de la commande publique et pour permettre une analyse plus profonde des données sur la commande publique par un éventail plus large d'usagers.

The OCDS documentation is made up of several parts, designed to help you use the OCDS effectively.
