https://odapi.spa.ge/ This Georgian OCDS dataset is built with OCDS Version 1.1. It is a modern scheme for publishing releases and records about contracting processes. The OCDS implementation in Georgia helps to make contracting processes more transparent and accountable by providing a comprehensive, filterable OCDS dataset.

2. Georgian Open procurement system
The Georgian electronic Government
Procurement (Ge-GP) already ensure a
certain degree of transparency by enabling
electronic free of charge access to the
information.
System has collected a large amount of
reliable and accurate data since 2011.

3. Project Initiative
Jointly carried out by the World Bank and the SPA
developed Application Programming Interface
(API) is a broader initiative, Technical Assistance
project for Improving Efficiency and Transparency
in Public Procurement in Georgia for enhancement
of the Georgian eGovernment Procurement System
(Ge-GP).

4. Project Scope
The main objectives of this project are promoting and increasing
transparency, quality, and use of procurement data among different
target groups of users.
● There is no access to aggregated data on public procurement
in a machine-readable format. This practically restrains 1)
citizens interested in public procurement; 2) public officials
interested in the management of public contracting; 3)
citizens with technological skills and with the ability to
reuse data to create added value; 4) private sector
representatives from making use of the data from making
use of the data
● Improvement of data format to match the OCDS standart
which enables disclosure of data and documents at all stages
of the contracting process by defining a common data
structure and system of publishing information.
