# Open Contracting #  The Open Contracting Partnership is an independent non-profit public charity 501(c)(3) working in over 50 countries. We are a silo-busting collaboration across governments, businesses, civil society, and technologists to open up and transform government contracting worldwide. Bringing open data and open government together, we make sure public money is spent openly, fairly and effectively on public contracts, the single biggest item of spending by most governments. They are a government's number one corruption risk and they are vital to make sure citizens get the services that they deserve. Our vision: Fair and effective public contracting provides everyone, everywhere with the public goods, works and services that they need.
