# Public Procurement — Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundle

An [Open Knowledge Format](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog/tree/main/okf) (OKF v0.1) bundle describing the public-procurement tender corpus analysed by **Lucius AI**, and the headline findings from *The State of Public Procurement 2026*.

It packages — as plain markdown + YAML frontmatter, readable by humans and AI agents alike — the dataset, the key timing and complexity metrics, and the source report.

## What is OKF?

The [Open Knowledge Format](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/data-analytics/how-the-open-knowledge-format-can-improve-data-sharing/) is an open spec from Google Cloud for representing organisational knowledge — datasets, metrics, sources — as a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, so the same knowledge can move between humans, AI agents, tools, and organisations. This bundle is conformant with OKF v0.1.

## About Lucius AI

Lucius AI reads any RFP, tender or contract for clause-vs-clause contradictions, penalty traps and compliance gaps with page-cited evidence, then drafts compliant proposals across the full bid. The statistics in this bundle are a by-product of analysing public procurement at scale. → https://ailucius.com
