CnOpenData's Extended Database System for Basic Information of Winning Bidders in Government Procurement integrates detailed business registration information and shareholder structure data of winning suppliers from national government procurement contract announcements. Compiled and expanded from publicly available sources, this database primarily consists of two components: the "Supplier Business Registration Basic Information Table" and the "Supplier Shareholder Information Table." It encompasses comprehensive fields such as enterprise name, credit code, registered capital, legal representative, industry classification, registered address, operational status, shareholder composition, investment ratios, and equity structure. This provides a robust, multidimensional data foundation for researching government-business relations, supply chain characteristics, corporate competitiveness, and market structure.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive information covering both business registration and shareholder dimensions: The database not only includes basic business registration information (e.g., social credit code, registered capital, industry category, business scope) but also extends to shareholder-level details (e.g., shareholder name, equity share, investment amount). This creates an "enterprise-shareholder" relational view, supporting deeper analysis of property rights and control chains.
- High standardization of fields for easy matching and analysis: Multiple standardized identification fields—such as "enterprise ID (business registration)," "social credit code," and "organization code"—facilitate linkage and integrated analysis with external databases (e.g., government procurement contract announcements, corporate financial data).
- Detailed industry classification supporting sector-level research: Four-tier industry codes and names—from "broad industry category" to "specific industry subclass"—enable precise identification of enterprises' niche sectors, applicable to studies on industry concentration, performance in policy-supported sectors, and cross-industry supplier comparisons.
- Inclusion of enterprise status and temporal trajectory information: Beyond static data, fields like "registration date," "cancellation date," "revocation date," and "business term" support research on enterprise survival periods, exit mechanisms, and longitudinal historical comparisons.
Application Value:
- Government procurement and public governance research: Researchers can analyze winning bidders' characteristics, regional distribution, and ownership structure in government procurement based on basic enterprise information and shareholder backgrounds, exploring topics such as procurement efficiency, fairness, and government-business relations.
- Supply chain and corporate competitiveness analysis: Enterprises or consulting agencies can identify potential supplier qualifications, assess equity stability, and evaluate background strength through fields like shareholder networks, industry classification, and registered capital, aiding supply chain selection and risk management.
- Corporate finance and equity research: Key equity information—such as "shareholder type," "equity share," and "paid-up/subscribed capital"—supports research on equity structure governance, shareholder resource integration, and corporate control rights.
- Regional economy and industrial policy evaluation: Government departments or research institutions can observe the industry distribution, capital scale, and activity levels of winning bidders across regions to evaluate industrial policy effectiveness and regional business environments.
- Academic teaching and empirical research support: The database's clear structure and comprehensive information make it suitable for teaching cases in corporate governance, public economics, and industrial organization, while also providing reliable firm-level data for empirical research in related fields.
CnOpenData's Extended Database on Basic Information of Winning Bidders in Government Procurement integrates business registration and shareholder data, offering users a window to deeply examine market entities in government procurement and their underlying capital structures. Combining breadth and depth, the database supports interdisciplinary and multi-perspective research and applications, aiming to provide academia, businesses, and the public sector with continuous, systematic, and user-friendly data services for understanding government-enterprise interactions, assessing supplier capabilities, and analyzing market structures.
