Data quality

Unlike other providers, we validate and clean every record that we collect. Each record is augmented with publication date, language and source as standard. We can also provide enhanced categorisation, addresses and entity reconciliation.

Data format

We know it isn’t enough to gather the data, it all has to map to a common standard, with each field formatted correctly and each record properly structured. All our data is available in our API in a single JSON format which complies with the Open Contracting Data Standard, an internationally recognised open standard.
