Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS)

The UK is the first G7 country to commit to the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) for contracts administered by a central purchasing authority, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS). This means that the whole process of awarding public sector contracts will be visible to the public for the first time.

Open contracting means all data and documents are disclosed at all stages of the contracting process. This supports organisations to increase contracting transparency, and allows deeper analysis of contracting data by a wide range of users.

Working with the Open Contracting Partnership we have published our review of the UK Showcase and Learning project in the form of a Measurement, Evaluation and Learning Framework. This sets out the impact of our implementation from a baseline date of May 2016 to November 2017 (unless otherwise specified). An earlier digest of our progress is available online.

OCDS outputs are available for both Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.

Find a Tender

You can download https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/">Find a Tender notices in OCDS JSON format using our application programming interface (API). Notice fields are mapped to OCDS version 1.1.5 with extensions as defined by the https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/master/en/">Open Contracting Partnership.

OCDS release package API

• https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/api/1.0/ocdsReleasePackages
• Filter by publication date, procurement stage, notice or procurement process (ocid)
• https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/apidocumentation/1.0/GET-ocdsReleasePackages">Help

Identifiers

• Release IDs are unique within a procurement process (ocid)
• Party (buyer or supplier) IDs are unique within a release

XML downloads

The same notice data is also available to download from the data.gov.uk website or using their API. Daily Zip files contain an XML file for each notice published on that day.

Contracts Finder

You can download https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/">Contracts Finder notices in OCDS JSON format using our API.

We have published a https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/719834/Input-Output_Field_Mapping_Contracts_Finder_OCDS_3_.xlsx">mapping document that shows how each field in each notice type maps to the corresponding field in OCDS.

Our Contracts Finder output is based v1.0 of the OCDS standard, with some enhancements from on v1.1. We plan to update to be fully compliant with v1.1 in the future.

The MMO is opening up its data for other people to re-use. Open government data helps governments be more transparent, supports business, academics and the third sector.

Access to MMO data is available via the https://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=&publisher=marine-management-organisation">www.data.gov.uk website.

This information covers fires, false alarms and other incidents attended by fire crews, and the statistics include the numbers of incidents, fires, fatalities and casualties as well as information on response times to fires. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) also collect information on the workforce, fire prevention work, health and safety and firefighter pensions. All data tables on fire statistics are below.

MHCLG has responsibility for fire services in England. The vast majority of data tables produced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government are for England but some (0101, 0103, 0201, 0501, 1401) tables are for Great Britain split by nation. In the past the Department for Communities and Local Government (who previously had responsibility for fire services in England) produced data tables for Great Britain and at times the UK. Similar information for devolved administrations are available at https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/about/statistics/">Scotland: Fire and Rescue Statistics, https://statswales.gov.wales/Catalogue/Community-Safety-and-Social-Inclusion/Community-Safety">Wales: Community safety and https://www.nifrs.org/home/about-us/publications/">Northern Ireland: Fire and Rescue Statistics.
