On 14 December 2023, the Commission held the 5th Co-creation session for the PPDS focusing on latest project advancements and on the services and tools that are being developed for PPDS users.

The session covered three key tools:

πŸ‘‰ PPDS website: the future PPDS website, a central tool to ensure visibility and communication, was presented to PPDS stakeholders.

πŸ‘‰ PPDS Analytical Toolset: a comprehensive presentation highlighted the capabilities of the PPDS Analytical toolset for public procurement data consultation and analysis.

πŸ‘‰ PPDS GitLab:  this collaborative tool used to share documentation, gather feedback and promote long term co-creation activities was also presented during the session.  

With more than 60 participants from over 23 countries including policymakers, buyers, companies and several other stakeholders, the last co-creation served, once again, as a dynamic platform for participants to engage in discussions while fostering collaboration between PPDS contributors and users. 

Among the topics discussed, data quality aspects stand as a central area of interest for future sessions.  

What’s next? 

The Commission is preparing the next co-creation session β€“ focusing specifically on Data Quality for the PPDS – to take place this coming 22 February (online). Save the date!
