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 includes statistical questions related to the monitoring of the implementation of the national public procurement strategy. These questions cover innovation, environmental and social sustainability, consideration of small and medium-sized enterprises and the involvement of service users in the procurement process.
