Data is offered in Latvian (geographical coverage: Republic of Latvia) and contains only the information to be disclosed in the notices.
Important note. Data structure of eForms published since 25 October 2023 differs from the data structure of the previously published public procurement notices. In addition, it should be noted that changes may be made to the eForms by replacing the previously published eForm with a more up-to-date version of the eForm, and the republished eForm is considered to be the last published eForm containing up-to-date information (if the eForm has not been republished, then the field "clonedFrom": is null, if the eForm is republished, then the field "clonedFrom" will contain a reference to the previously published eForm). When analysing the data, please take into account the regulatory framework in force during the period considered (including transitional rules which, for example, provide for the completion of the procurement procedures initiated in accordance with the provisions of the law in force on the date of the announcement of the procurement procedure in question, etc.). Changes to laws may affect the content of notices (e.g. different fields included in notices). In addition, on 1 January 2014 Latvia had a transfer from Latvian lats (LVL) to the euro (EUR) currency.
