Open Contracting Partnership

About Open Contracting Partnership

Open Contracting Partnership aims to open up and transform public procurement to deliver fairer and better results for people, prosperity, and the planet. Our world runs on public contracts. One in three dollars spent by governments goes towards contracts with private companies to deliver public goods and services. It’s time to think different about public procurement and break open the trillions of dollars spent on contracts to unlock competition, innovation, and inclusion. We seek to bring together government, civil society and community organizations around improving procurement and open data. We create better value for money, fairer opportunities for business, and better results for people by helping ensure public money is spent openly, equitably, and effectively. We help our partners achieve measurable and lasting impact through locally-owned and inclusive public procurement reform. We support leaders from government, business, nonprofits, and journalists to co-design projects, and develop and implement open contracting strategies that work. We are proud to live in the regions that we serve. Our globally-distributed staff of approximately 29 people is based in thirteen countries across the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
