### Contracting data

The UK publishes OCDS data from [Contracts Finder](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/).
A publisher in the United Kingdom collects [Companies House](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house) numbers as its primary organization identifiers for suppliers.

This example shows a contract award to T.M. ENGINEERS (MIDLANDS) LIMITED. `parties.identifier.id` is set to the supplier's company number (00507062) and `parties.identifier.scheme` is set to "GB-COH" to identify the register the number is drawn from.
A buyer awards a contract to T.M. ENGINEERS (MIDLANDS) LIMITED. The supplier is listed in the `parties` array with 'supplier' in `.roles`. `.identifier.scheme` is set to the org-id scheme prefix for Companies House ([GB-COH](http://org-id.guide/list/GB-COH)) and `.identifier.id` is set to the supplier's Companies House number (00507062).

```{note}
For more information on publishing organization identifiers in OCDS, see [Organization identifiers](../../schema/identifiers.md#organization-identifiers).

### Beneficial ownership data

The UK also publishes a separate beneficial ownership dataset: the [People with significant control (PSC) snapshot](http://download.companieshouse.gov.uk/en_pscdata.html). This dataset is updated daily and includes a history of changes. The OpenOwnership Register publishes [the PSC snapshot in BODS format](https://register.openownership.org/data_sources/uk-psc-register).

## Publish beneficial ownership data in OCDS

Moldova [collects the name and nationality](https://tender.gov.md/ro/content/formularul-standard-al-documentului-unic-de-achizi%C8%9Bii-european?fbclid=IwAR14CSxh6bo45cTq-hzVbwhnEkk9OEkY1aF86j1hVIU8kTnvaW3cU4q5loc) of the beneficial owners of bidders in its procurement system. But, Moldova does not maintain a separate beneficial ownership register.

Therefore, Moldova can use the beneficial owners extension to publish the data in OCDS. For more information on using the beneficial ownership extension, see the [extension documentation](https://extensions.open-contracting.org/en/extensions/beneficialOwners/master/).

This example shows a fictional contract award to Microsoft Moldova:
A publisher in Moldova collects the name and nationality of the beneficial owners of bidders in its procurement system. However, the government of Moldova does not publish a separate beneficial ownership dataset. Therefore, the publisher uses the [beneficial owners extension](https://extensions.open-contracting.org/en/extensions/beneficialOwners) to publish the data in OCDS.

* In the package metadata, the `extensions` array includes the beneficial owners extension.
* In the `parties` array:
* `beneficialOwners.name` is set to the name of the beneficial owner
* `beneficialOwners.nationality` is set to the country code for the nationality of the beneficial owner
A buyer awards a contract to Microsoft Moldova. The publisher declares the beneficial owners extension in the `extensions` array and publishes the name and nationality of the beneficial owner in `parties.beneficialOwners`.
