The ‘Base Étendue, Améliorée et Unifiée des Annonces des Marchés Publics‘ project presents a new large-scale dataset on how public contracts were awarded in France from 2015 to 2023. Textual data from the Bulletin Officiel des Annonces des Marchés Publics were consolidated and structured then crossed with INSEE data on companies and public purchasers. These data are complex and often fragmentary and were consolidated using AI algorithms to determine the most likely alignments with the economic agents (SIRET numbers) described in other databases.
This project received funding from the French National Research Agency (ANR) and is led by two PhD students from Avignon University – Adrien Deschamps who works in economics, and Lucas Potin, a computer scientist
