PUBLIC DATA RIGHTS

Method & licences.

This is the rights register for data that appears in UK Public Money. It lists only sources the public site actually uses—not every dataset or research service held elsewhere—and links each decision to the publisher's own data and terms. Rights were last checked 23 August 2026.

Sources used in public output

Yes means the source terms permit both commercial reuse and the transformations this site makes. Attribution, accuracy and third-party-rights conditions still apply. A source that did not clear either permission would be blocked from transformed public output rather than excused with a disclaimer.

Attribution and changes made here

UK Public Money does not present an upstream source as its own. These notices describe the projection, join or interpretation added by this site.

  1. Contracts Finder award notices

    Attribution: Contains public-sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: Crown Commercial Service / Contracts Finder. Changes: Notice fields are normalised, indexed, grouped and totalled; source notice links and published identifiers are retained.

    Read the source-specific terms and exceptions
  2. Companies House Free Company Data Product

    Attribution: Companies House. Changes: Only records joined by an identifier published in a notice or charity record are projected; names, status, dates and SIC fields remain documented.

  3. Charity Commission Register of Charities extract

    Attribution: Contains public-sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: Charity Commission for England and Wales. Changes: Register records are projected and linked only by the exact company number published by the Commission.

  4. ONS Census 2021 TS001 via Nomis

    Attribution: Adapted from data from the Office for National Statistics, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Changes: Adapted regional population context is shown beside published delivery-region evidence; it is not attributed to individual contracts.

  5. GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier data

    Attribution: Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation. Changes: Exact LEI-to-Companies-House registration-authority matches are displayed as observed identity evidence; no ownership claim is inferred.

  6. Wikidata structured brand and ownership data

    Attribution: Wikidata contributors. Changes: Name-derived brand and ownership candidates are shown as inferred review signals with source, date and method; they are not asserted as verified legal ownership.

Unified R2 importer: live, held and gated feeds

These are the official feeds in the unified importer that are relevant to public spending, supplier identity, grants or tender research. The state is deliberately separate from the rights table above: an acquired R2 object remains private until a bounded public projection passes scope, identity, rights, completeness and provenance checks. Feed state was checked 25 August 2026.

Companies House basic company snapshot

Companies House · Unified R2 snapshot 1 August 2026

Licence / terms
Companies House free company data product; public-register reuse conditions apply

GLEIF LEI Golden Copy

Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation · Unified R2 snapshot 24 August 2026

Licence / terms
GLEIF open-data / CC0 terms
Public treatment
Existing exact Companies House registration-authority matches remain public. The 24 August raw snapshot is held until its bounded exact-ID projection is rebuilt; LEI data does not establish ownership, financial health or performance.
Held; projection requiredOfficial source ↗

TED monthly procurement packages

Publications Office of the European Union · Unified R2 packages through July 2026

Licence / terms
Publications Office legal notice; notice-level third-party fields require downstream review

Held; outside UK scopeOfficial source ↗

Grants.gov opportunity extract

US General Services Administration / Grants.gov · Unified R2 snapshot 24 August 2026

Licence / terms
US federal government public data
Public treatment
Not used on this site. It cannot support a claim about UK grants, UK recipients or UK public spending.
Private / credentialled gateOfficial source ↗

Companies House PSC snapshot and entity history

Companies House · PSC snapshot held 24 August 2026; live history API not acquired

Licence / terms
Public-register reuse, copyright and data-protection conditions apply
Public treatment
Raw PSC data remains private. Filing and entity history requires approved product selection, credentials, field-level privacy rules and retention controls.

Grant boundary: the held Grants.gov extract is a US federal opportunity feed, not evidence of UK grants. Tender boundary: TED packages are an official European procurement archive, but they do not become a complete UK live-tender service without a governed UK projection. Supplier boundary: raw PSC and filing-history records remain private or credentialled; no ownership claim is inferred from possession.

Related evidence is kept separate

Supplier pages can also show reviewed, documented claims from CompanyBeacon, UK Capital Intelligence and Who Owns This Brand. Those services are not described here as public datasets, their underlying research stores are not distributed by UK Public Money, and no private or contractual fields are exposed. Each visible claim carries its own source URL, source date, method and observed-or-inferred label.

Storage in R2, D1 or another system proves only that data is held. It does not grant publication permission. The public table is therefore driven by actual site output and verified source terms, not by the wider data estate.

No UK Public Money dataset download

This page documents upstream sources and reuse decisions; it is not a landing page for a UK Public Money dataset distribution. The site does not currently publish its compiled database as a bulk download, so it deliberately emits no Dataset structured data.
