This repository is intended to be a project to collaboratively analyse the portuguese database of public contracts.

Motivation

Every portuguese public entity has to publicly disclose its contracts in an official website, base. In particular, it has to disclose:

  1. to whom the contract was made.
  2. how much the contract was.
  3. when the contract was made.
  4. which category it belongs to.

... a bunch of other data

Currently, this database has about 370.000 contracts, spamming orders of magnitude between their prices.

The objective

The objective of this repository is to host the (open) source of an website that provide tools for visualising and analysing this database.

We have a crawler that daily retrieves information from base to a database we host and we model, and we provide read-access to the database. With this read-access, anyone can fork the code of the website and use it with the full database.

This project has an official website that hosts the database and the website created in this collaborative project.

The website's code

We use Django, JQuery, HTML and CSS, and we write the code in english. The official website is translated to portuguese via i18n to be accessible to anyone in Portugal.

More information about the code can be found in the documentation section.
