Record Packages
If you would like to work with our Open Contracting Data Standard data in bulk, you can download it from this page. A separate record package is generated each month. A tender is included in the record package corresponding to its first release date. As such, you need to check for any modifications to files that you may have previously downloaded.
For example, if a tender is published in January 2016 it will always be included in this record package file. Additional releases will be published as the tender moves through its lifecycle, which may be months or even years later. These additional releases for this tender will cause the file for January 2016 to be updated with the latest information, rather than splitting the releases for this tender across multiple record packages corresponding to the dates on which the releases were published.
