Since October 2018, the 70 000 French public procurers (local authorities, hospitals, ministry…) must publish essential data from their public procurement above a threshold of 40 000 euros. However, the aggregation of this data at national level is still a work in progress, conducted by the agency Etalab .On October 2020, the public procurement essential data consolidated file describes 166309 public contracts from 5474 public procurers. This file is available in the Open Contracting Data Standard.
