Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what was the total (a) value and (b) number of grants and funding awarded via competitive bidding processes by her Department in each of the last four years; and how many competitive bidding applications have been received by her Department in each of the last four years.

I can confirm that the Home Office holds information relating to the number of competitive bidding applications received in each of the last four years. However, this information can only be obtained at disproportionate costs to the Home Office.
