Portuguese Public Procurement Data (PPPData)

PPPData comprises 5214 records (public procurement contracts with unique properties), each characterised by 37 fields. This data was collected throughout 2022 from the websites: Portal Base, the Portuguese national repository of public procurement procedures; and Diário da Républica Eléctronico, the official national gazette of Portugal. The gathered data was restricted to public project contracts with a closing date between 2015 and 2022. The resulting dataset was stored in an Microsoft Excel file (.xlsx).
It provides filterable and queryable data to support the development of statistical analysis techniques and AI-based applications for the construction procurement phase.
Researchers, construction analysts, bidders, and clients can benefit from this structured and systematised procurement information.
ML and/or NLP researchers may utilise this data to train and test new models for both supervised and unsupervised learning problems, allowing, for instance, to gain insights into the procurement factors that affect a project’s performance and assess the procurement’s success at its early stages.
