    • publication_date — publication date (ISO 8601, may include timezone offset)
    • buyer_id — anonymized buyer/organization ID

    • lot_id — identifier for the procurement lot
    • lot_name — contract title (local language)
    • lot_description — contract description (local language)
    • award_value — contract award value (when available, numeric)
    • final_value — overall contract value at notice/result level (if present)
    • best_value — most reliable value selected among award, final, and estimated
    • best_value_source — which field the best_value came from
    • currency — contract currency
    • source_file — original TED XML file

Added Value

While the raw TED data is free and open, this dataset provides:

  • Parsed and normalized structure (from thousands of XML files → single CSV)
  • Automatic CPV 2008 code enrichment with human-readable labels
  • Multiple contract value fields (award, final, best) for flexible analysis
  • Ready for machine learning pipelines and analytics without preprocessing
