Every register is downloadable as CSV or JSON from the Open Data page, and each record on the site names the institution that published it. Where the figures come from is set out in data sources and the quality methodology.
Registers reorganised for public search
29 August 2026 · version 1.2.0
- Scoped register pages published for active, completed and upcoming projects, and for each sector and province holding enough records to be worth a page of its own.
- Sitemaps split by register — projects, procurement, awards, agencies, suppliers, sectors, provinces and sources — behind a single sitemap index.
- Structured data on every record corrected so that a responsible or sponsoring institution is described as such, and a funder is stated only where the register holds a funding source. A responsible institution is not a funder, and the previous markup said it was.
- Record titles and descriptions rebuilt from the fields each record holds, so that no page carries a description cut off mid-sentence.
Registers populated from official sources
28 August 2026 · version 1.1.0
- Project register populated from the Rural Electrification Authority and Road Development Agency published registers, each record carrying the source that reported it.
- Procurement and contract award registers populated from the ZPPA Open Contracting feed.
- Delivery status recorded as a dated observation against the source that made it, with an evidence tier, rather than as a bare status field.
- Forward pipeline published as a register in its own right, separate from procurement.
- Eight demonstration project records withdrawn. Their URLs answer 410 Gone and are not reissued.
Initial publication for institutional evaluation
27 August 2026 · version 1.0.0
- Project, procurement and contract award registers published with full source attribution on every record.
- Open Contracting connector interface established, with the ZPPA OCDS connector as the first implementation.
- Project, procurement and award datasets available as CSV and JSON.
- Data dictionary, quality methodology and source coverage published.
Changes to a single record — a corrected budget, a revised completion date — are recorded on that record rather than here, and are visible in the change history on its page.
