Show me the Tenders Initiative

Introduction
Show me the Tenders is an initiative led by Euroalert.net to publicly document where, how and in what conditions public procurement datasets are published in the different countries around the globe.
While at it, as if it wasn't a big enough task, every time we get together with a public body that manages any of these publications, we don't loose the opportunity to try to educate those that aren't aware of the importance of the reuse of Public Sector Information and Linked Data principles. RAW DATA NOW!.
This public repository of information has just been created, and it's in a very early stage of its existence; so any help you can provide (information about how this works in your country, contact information within one of those organizations, documentation about data formats, ...) it'll be much appreciated.
If you want to know more about our engagement with the Open Data Community you can visit the Euroalert blog or follow us on twitter.
