Open Data — Public Tenders

Open data refers to the provision of public-sector data in machine-readable formats for free use. The federal government, federal states, and municipalities are investing more and more in open-data portals, data infrastructure, and the preparation of administrative data. The German Data Use Act and the EU Open Data Directive are driving demand for corresponding IT solutions and consulting services.

Typical tenders in the open data sector

  • Development and operation of a municipal open-data portal
  • Preparation and publication of geodata as open data
  • Consulting services for the development of an authority's open-data strategy
  • Implementation of data catalogues and metadata management solutions
  • Setup of a DCAT-AP-compliant data infrastructure
  • Training for authority staff in data preparation and publication

Relevant CPV codes

Challenges in finding tenders

Open-data projects are rarely tendered as such. Common labels include "data portal", "data catalogue", "data provision", "open government data", "transparency portal", or simply "data management". The boundary with general database projects, e-government initiatives, and GIS projects (geodata infrastructures) is often blurred.

In addition, open-data services are frequently part of comprehensive digitalisation projects and are not published as a standalone tender.
