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 4,690 records. While most primary fields like tender titles and dates are complete, several columns (such as status and specific milestone due dates) contain null values. Tender values are provided as formatted strings and may require cleaning for quantitative analysis.
Use Cases
Market research for government contractors, public expenditure transparency auditing, infrastructure development tracking in Assam, and academic research on public procurement efficiency.
Limitations
Several OCDS-specific milestone and status columns are empty. Bidding data (number of tenderers) is only available for approximately 50% of the records. Geographic data is limited to department names and district mentions within titles.
Methodology
Extracted from the state's electronic procurement system and mapped to the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) format for interoperability.
