African Data Revolution: Survey
Powered by Open Data Census
All tenders and awards of the national/federal government aggregated by office. Do not consider procurement planning or other procurement phases. Open procurement data may enable fairer competition among companies, allow to detect fraud, as well as deliver better services for governments and citizens. The Index draws on work from the Open Contracting Partnership.

In the latter it is possible to download PDFs of the award notices. For the first one it is only possible to find the journals with notices of procurement, it's not the data by itself. Also available on PDF form.
