Our resource library pulls together relevant publications and tools to support you in implementing open contracting.

The Open Contracting Data Standard, an open and community-led standard that we steward, is the main tool to transform an opaque contracting process into open data that can unlock knowledge and spur action.

If you are thinking about implementing open contracting, whether you are government, civil society, private sector or journalists, make sure to let us know. We’d love to engage.
