Global Government Contracts Data

**Full Dataset Description**<br/><br/>The **TenderAlpha Global Unified Contracts Data Feed** provides structured, daily-updated data on government contract awards from more than 40 countries, with contracts executed in 150+ countries. The dataset standardises procurement information from a wide range of national and regional sources, enabling cross-country comparison and analysis. Each record represents a single awarded government contract and includes comprehensive metadata such as buyer and supplier names, contract value, award date, contract duration, and sector classification through CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary).

This feed is designed to support use cases in investment research, macroeconomic analysis, supply chain monitoring, credit risk modeling, and public sector intelligence. By unifying disparate procurement systems into a consistent format, the feed allows users to track government spending trends, identify key suppliers, monitor forward-looking obligations, and analyze contract timing and volume at a global scale.
