Covid-emergency: I tried to match data from the covid-emergency portal with the e-procurement system and could not find a systematic way to do it: IDs are all completely different. Then, I tried to do manual matches, and the data we have on the covid-emergency portal is not in the standard outlet. However, this needs to be double-checked with our focal point for Honduras since I did a random check with 10 contracts/tenders.
E-procurement: the issue here is that 379 contracts have “covid-19” in their subject. I did the same check, so I looked for these contracts in the emergency portal and could not find any. Yet, this is also something we should ask.
Number of bidders: In the e-procurement system, the median of bidders per tender is 2, while in the emergency portal, only 1.2% of tenders had two bids, whereas the rest 98.8% had only one offer. Is it feasible?
Indicators: we have all the necessary variables to construct all the indicators listed on GitHub. The only problem might be the number of bidders if this information is unreliable.
Payment data: we have access to payment data for covid emergency and ordinary contracts.
ANSWER BY @serenacocciolo
covid emergency: it could be that there is no overlap between the covid emergency portal and the e-procurement system. but i agree, we should double check with the focal points for honduras
e-procurement: i am not surprised that some covid purchases ended up in the e-procurement system. it can be because they were not tagged as covid purchases (i imagine that contracts goes in the covid portal if they are manually are tagged as "covid"). we should check!
number of biddes: for covid, yes, i am not surprised because i imagine there has been a lot (or maybe almost everything) of direct contracting. for the standard procurement, 2 is a bit low. we should ask about the number of bidders, yes. in our next meeting, we can also discuss more in details on this, so you can tell us more how you have already investigated this variable with thiago.
@rdoino-wb We will be using this issue to track the documentation and general questions on Croatia. We will open another issue named "Honduras-descriptive/analysis/etc" as we move forward
