  • The Health Contracting Process

    Public procurement is : All the planning, tendering information, awards, contracts and contract implementation information related to a single initiation process.

    Not all contracting processes have all stages. For example, direct contracting may start with the award of a contract. However, there will still be information that can be disclosed about the budgets, specifications and selection process even in this case. Open Contracting data ideally should be published close to real-time: releasing data as each stage of a contracting process takes place. The image below explains the process diagrammatically.
