The Open Contracting Data Standard is a framework designed to increase transparency and access to public procurement data in the public sector. It is widely used by governments and organisations worldwide to report on procurement processes and contracts.
The OCID, or Open Contracting Identifier, is a key element of this standard. The OCID is a globally unique identifier for each contracting process. Each OCID is unique, which ensures that each contracting process can be distinctly and universally recognised. This means that all information related to a single contracting process, from the planning stage to tender and award, can be easily linked and traced using the OCID.
With D3 Tenders, you can search for contracts by OCID - and you can see all the published contracts at each stage of the procurement process.
Use Open Contracting Identifiers to track call-offs from Frameworks, DPS, and multi-award tenders.
