We’re pleased to welcome Juan Ricardo Ortega to our Board. Juan Ricardo is President of Grupo Energía de Bogotá & previously Was Director of Colombia’s tax authority & as Deputy Minister of Finance. He brings deep experience in governance reform, public finance and procurement reform in LATAM.

UK procurement data is more open than ever. Our colleague Camila Salazar has written a practical guide to analyzing Find a Tender Service data, from accessing the data to calculating useful indicators on competition, SMEs & contract value. www.open-contracting.org/2026/05/27/h...

When reconstruction is decided from the top down, communities wait to be chosen. Ukraine’s DREAM ecosystem is changing that. Used by 89% of Ukrainian communities, DREAM helps local communities propose projects and makes public investment easier to track. www.govtechintelhub.org/case-study-d...

CREDERE demostró que los datos abiertos son una infraestructura clave para la visibilidad financiera de las pymes en Colombia. 🇨🇴 Descubre las lecciones del modelo aquí: https://f.mtr.cool/nrnpfwpftc

Europe’s sustainable procurement ambition is real. The measurement is lagging. A lot of reporting can show what was tagged “green.” It’s harder to show what was bought, how consistently, and whether outcomes changed. We worked with @iisd.org on why the data to fix this already exists.

A public contract should be an opportunity, not a cashflow trap. In Colombia, the CREDERE pilot used open contracting data to connect SMEs that won contracts with lenders offering credit or contract-backed financing. It also surfaced the limits that still lock firms out.

En Brasil, identificar medicinas entre millones de registros de compras públicas era casi imposible por la falta de estandarización. Esto cambió con una herramienta de IA y búsqueda semántica https://www.open-contracting.org/2026/04/30/semantic-search-and-ai-classification-medicine-price-comparison/

What turns partnership from ambition into delivery? Systems. Data. Accountability. As our Executive Director, Gavin Hayman says, that’s what it takes to turn public money into public value. Following day 2 of the Global Partnerships Conference. #OpenContracting

Open government is not just an idea. It shows up in the systems people rely on every day: school meals, medicines, roads, digital services, climate action and emergency response. This #OpenGovWeek, we’re joining the OGP community to mark 15 years of progress and imagine what comes next. #OGP15

The EU already collects huge amounts of procurement data. The next step is using it to answer a harder question: is green procurement actually reducing emissions? Our new analysis with iisd.org explores what is possible now and what needs to improve. www.iisd.org/articles/dee... #GreenProcurement

Good procurement decisions depend on good data. But what happens when the data is messy, unstructured, and too large to classify manually? In Brazil, partners tested semantic search to identify medicine purchases and support better price comparison. #AI #HealthProcurement

Small businesses usually lose out on public contracts for practical reasons: they can’t see opportunities early enough, and the process is hard to navigate. Tanzania’s NeST is changing that, with live procurement data and a faster tender process (80 days vs 116). #PublicProcurement #eGP

#ClimateFinance needs “receipts”. The tech to track money from pledge to project to contract exists. What’s missing is incentives and a delivery platform that works with country systems. 👉New blog unpacks our research + requirements: www.open-contracting.org/2026/04/14/f...
