Plataforma de datos abiertos de contratacion de obras públicas del gobierno colombiano

Abstract

In recent years, transparency in public procurement has increased considerably as a strategy to curb corruption and implement best practices by governments. Since 2007, Colombia has been implementing different approaches in this sense, which have been evaluated by international bodies with outstanding results. The country's open data platform is mandatory, and all public entities must publish the processes carried out there. This paper presents the “Sistema Electrónico de Contratación Pública de Colombia – SECOP” with emphasis on the construction phase of infrastructure projects, which contains information on all stages of construction projects. There are examples of data and analysis that can be made from them.
