Ukraine's initiative on statistical data and tender notices within the WTO GPA.

1. Ukraine’s initiative on statistical data
and tender notices within the GPA

2. Lots of national
public
procurement
web-portals
Procurement information fragmentation within the GPA is one of
the biggest obstacles for business
How can national PP systems be integrated?
GPA aims to open public procurement markets to international
trade – and we are already halfway there. But…
Limited
opportunities
for data analysis
and monitoring
Incomplete
statistics on
procurement
covered by GPA
Different
interfaces,
languages and
data formats

3. The fragmentation and disunity of
information about procurement within
the GPA is one of the biggest obstacles for
business to take part in public
procurement tenders
More than
45 web
portals?!?
Business may be puzzled by GPA opportunities

4. The fragmentation and disunity of
information about procurement within
the GPA is one of the biggest obstacles for
business to take part in public
procurement tenders
No accessible and reliable data on PP globally
Scarce information does not allow businesses and even GPA Parties
to evaluate all advantages and opportunities of the GPA
Challenges of
data
interpretation
and analysis
Incomplete
statistical data
within the GPA
Parties
No single
standard for
procurement
reports
No recent
statistics on
global
procurement
(latest is of 2002)
Data driven decisions are impossible without information exchange
and easily accessible, detailed and reliable statistics

5. How to tackle these issues?
• Create a unified e-portal to
aggregate procurement procedures
announcements within the GPA using
the already tested Open Contracting
Data Standard
Portal for
e-notices
• Implement Business intelligence
module (BI) as data analytics tool for
monitoring and analysis of
procurement information for GPA
Parties
Business
Intelligence

6. What PP data might look like?

contracting process to increase transparency and allow deeper
analysis of data by a wide range of users
Reusable objects: organisations, tender information, line-items, amounts etc.
Common open data publication patterns
Recommended data and documents at basic, intermediate & advanced levels
Guidance on improving data collection and data quality
A growing community of users and range of open source tools
