About This Dataset
This granular dataset captures numerous attributes for each government tender, including key information such as the tender ID, title, type, financial value, payment method, and status. This rich information allows for in-depth analysis of public spending, project types, and the overall procurement landscape in Assam during that period.
Data Quality
The dataset contains over 9,000 records. While core identification fields (ocid, title, value, buyer) are highly populated, several ODS-specific milestone and status columns (tender/status, milestones/dueDate) are entirely null. The financial value field ('tender/value/amount') contains formatted strings that include commas and represent the estimated contract value in INR.
Use Cases
Monitoring government spending efficiency, performing regional infrastructure gap analysis, analyzing competition in public sector bidding, and identifying the largest contractors and buyers in Assam.
Limitations
The dataset covers a specific historical window (2017-2019). Many OCDS optional fields are empty, and geographic data is limited to department names rather than precise coordinates.
Methodology
Data was extracted from the Assam state e-procurement database and mapped to the standard OCDS schema to ensure interoperability and transparency.
