The Data is available but need a consent from the office for being use in other projects. It is replacing an old and disfunctional national map site. It is not clear when and how often it is being updated.

There are some layers which are clearly up-to-date (e.g. bus stations, lanes, routes), while others are clearly not - and there is no metadata to differentiate or even indicate which layer is up to date or not.

Moreover, the only export option available of the data is to export PNG (=image) files, and no textual/geospatial data is available for download.

96 Procurement tenders


  • Tender RFPs are published but not the awards or the chosen supplier.
  • Procurements that get exemption from using a tender (e.g. single supplier contracts etc) are published in a dedicated government website (but not in machine readable form). These kind of procurements make 80% of the total number of procurements.
  • Other data (including actual amount executed and small-valued procurements) is not available online but only through FOIA requests. Some work is done in the government level to release a quarterly report of these records, but it remains to be seen if this gets implemented.
