Updating "processing and consolidation of open data on public procurement in France (2015-2023)" with daily refresh

Public procurement transparency is a major policy concern worldwide. It is expected to improve the evaluation of procurement regulations, prevent corruption, and foster competition, given the significant weight of public contracts in government spending. For instance, in 2023 the European Union implemented the eForms standard to harmonize procurement notices across its member states. This article presents an updated version of a previous dataset that collected and enriched open data on French public procurement, which could no longer be maintained after the adoption of eForms. The new version not only updates the data from 2024 onward but also introduces two major improvements. First, it is automatically refreshed on a daily basis. Second, it relies on a faster and more reliable method for identifying the public and private actors involved in procurement. This article therefore provides a methodology for a continuous and accurate centralization and enhancement of procurement notices. The resulting dataset is intended to benefit researchers, policymakers, businesses, and public buyers alike.
