A lo largo del conjunto de herramientas, hemos explicado la importancia de los datos abiertos y de alta calidad para impulsar la implementación de SPP y medir los resultados de sostenibilidad. Primero presentamos esta idea al comienzo del conjunto de herramientas y la desarrollamos más en las siguientes secciones, particularmente cuando presentamos un Marco de Medición y Evaluación (M&E) de muestra en la sección uno. Este marco de M&E propuesto está estructurado en torno a cinco objetivos y proporciona indicadores de seguimiento de muestra para facilitar la presentación de informes y la medición del progreso con respecto a los objetivos de sostenibilidad.

Pasos para recopilar y publicar datos
Antes de presentar las diferentes opciones para el uso de datos, queremos llamar su atención sobre los diferentes factores que afectarán y darán forma al enfoque que puede adoptar para la recopilación de datos. Evaluarlos es el primer paso hacia el diseño de un proceso claro para que los profesionales de adquisiciones compartan los datos requeridos. A continuación, incluimos algunos factores clave que debe considerar como parte de esta evaluación:
The organizational set-up of procurement - whether it is centralized, decentralized, or follows a category-managed approach - will inform decisions regarding the responsibilities of different stakeholders involved in the process of collecting and reporting relevant data. For example, when procurement structures are very decentralized, it might be necessary to appoint dedicated umbrella authorities responsible for monitoring the collection of data in specific regions or localities.
Agreeing how the many different stakeholders involved in public procurement will work together is vital as is appointing a clear leadership structure for coordinating and reporting. Many countries assign this responsibility to the Ministry of the Environment, or to a national public procurement authority. At the organizational level, it is important to align individual job responsibilities with SPP monitoring and reporting activities.
In many countries, different platforms are used to carry out public procurement activities. To ensure that all relevant data is collected, a system should be established to gather data from the different platforms and channels. For example, Korea gathers data from three different platforms: the centralized e-procurement platform KONEPS; the de-centralised online purchase platform Green Market; and the e-monitoring platform “Green Products Information Platform” (GPIP), created for procurement authorities to upload required data from de-centralized procurement processes (for more information on this see pages 60 to 63 of this UNEP report). Understanding where your data is collected is critical to developing a system to publish information publicly.
The baseline year is the moment when the data will begin to be collected and key indicators reported publicly. This normally coincides with the publication of the Action Plan, which should determine when data will start to be collected. From an operational level, it is also important to establish with public authorities the frequency for collecting and reporting data relating to their contracts, for example, whether this will be monthly, quarterly, or annually.
There are different methods to collecting and analyzing data and these will vary depending on the sustainability goals you are trying to measure progress against. It will also depend on accessible technical resources and capabilities. We have identified three different types of environments: no code, low code, and code. Click through to learn more:
