Summary
Making up almost 15% of GDP, public procurement is central to sectors from defense to green transition. Yet, without comprehensive data, we lack answers on why procurement contracts succeed or fail. This project establishes the first complete, longitudinal database of all Danish procurements, providing an unprecedented foundation for systematic research on contract design, costs, and performance.
