What major purchases have the European governments made recently? Who are the most prominent contractors? What kinds of services do they provide?

This parser toolkit will extract contract award information from the combined European procurement system, Tenders Electronic Daily (TED).

The site will break down procurement information over a variety of dimensions. The key dimensions are:

• Purpose (based on the Common Procurement Vocabulary, CPV)
• Geography (based on countries, NUTS codes and addresses)
• Supplier (i.e. contract grantee)
• Authority (i.e. public body or quasi-public organisation)
