Resumo(s)
Public procurement is a complex process that involves multiple actors and institutions, from which several sources of information are essential for audit activities. As with all data-related endeavours, when a task requires assessing data from multiple sources at different levels of granularity, data mapping is a critical first step. The main challenge in data mapping lies in the data landscape, which involves a variety of potential data owners, influencing data accessibility. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the data landscape in Portugal, specifically identifying data opportunities to enhance the Tribunal de Contas (TdC) - Portuguese Court of Auditors' - audit tasks related to public procurement activities. The primary objective is to identify key variables from stakeholder databases that can serve as valuable sources to identify core risks and irregularities in public procurement. Specifically, the chapter highlights crucial features of these databases, particularly data quality and appropriate methods to identify risks/irregularities, delving into the first steps for implementing a data-driven framework. By focusing on these essential aspects, this chapter lays the groundwork for developing a robust data-driven approach that empowers the TdC to enhance its capacity to assess risks related to public procurement, thereby strengthening its oversight of public procurement activities in Portugal. The approach to assessing the data landscape involved desk research, meetings with important stakeholders, online questionnaires, and analysis of data sources. Specifically, this task included analysing existing databases, government platforms, legal documents, and other relevant sources. This data mapping exercise established a holistic view of the data ecosystem, facilitating a more accurate and informed analysis of opportunities for TdC's audits.
