Governments procure large amounts of goods and services to help them implement policies and deliver public services; in Italy, this is an essential sector, corresponding to about 12% of the gross domestic product. Data are increasingly recorded in public repositories, although they are often divided into multiple sources and not immediately available for consultation. This paper provides a description and analysis of an effort to collect and arrange a legal public administration database. The main source of interest involves the National Anti-Corruption Authority in Italy, which describes more than 3 million tenders. To improve usability, the database is integrated with two other relevant data sources concerning information on public entities and territorial units for statistical purposes. The period identified by domain experts covers 2016-2023. The analysis also identifies key challenges that arise from the current Open Data catalogue, particularly in terms of data completeness. A practical application is described with an example of use. The final dataset, called Italian Tender Hub (ITH), is available in a repository with a description of its use.
政府采购大量商品和服务以帮助其实施政策并提供公共服务；在意大利，这是一个重要部门，约占国内生产总值的12%。数据越来越多地记录在公共存储库中，尽管这些数据通常分散在多个来源且无法立即供人查阅。本文介绍并分析了一项收集和整理合法公共行政数据库的工作。主要的关注来源涉及意大利国家反腐败局，该局描述了超过300万个招标项目。为了提高可用性，该数据库与另外两个相关数据源集成，这两个数据源是出于统计目的的有关公共实体和领土单位的信息。领域专家确定的时间段为2016年至2023年。分析还确定了当前开放数据目录中出现的关键挑战，特别是在数据完整性方面。文中通过一个使用示例描述了一个实际应用。最终数据集名为意大利招标中心（ITH），可在一个存储库中获取，并附有其使用说明。
