Abstract

The data contain announcements of public contracts published in the HILMA electronic notification system in 2020. Finnish procurement laws and EU public procurement directives require that contracting authorities advertise their public tenders for all procurements exceeding the threshold value.

Public procurement notices contain information on the number and type of notice, date of publication, type of the contract, type of procurement procedure, type of the contracting authority, award criteria, common procurement vocabulary (CPV) code, and the value of the contract (if applicable). The questionnaire also contains statistical questions on the inclusion of innovation, energy efficiency, and small and medium-sized enterprises in the procurement process.

The data also contain the variables regional classification (NUTS) and language of the announcement.
