Open SPP FAQs

This toolkit will help you to rethink sustainable public procurement driving better adoption and measurement through an open, data-driven and inclusive approach.

Sustainable procurement will require governments to purchase things in a fundamentally different way. We hope that this toolkit will help you get started.

This Open and Sustainable Public Procurement toolkit has been co-designed by the Open Contracting Partnership (OCP), an independent non-profit working in over 50 countries to open up and transform the whole process of public procurement by making it more user-friendly, data-driven and inclusive; Spend Network, a global leader in open contracting and procurement data analysis; and PUBLIC, a leading government-focused technology company. The toolkit development is supported by the German Development Cooperation implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

Throughout the toolkit, we provide guidance on how to apply open data and open government approaches to underpin successful sustainable public procurement SPP implementation and drive impact.
