Home Office: Procurement
(asked on 27th June 2017) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many contracts put out to tender by her Department were awarded to (a) charities and (b) social enterprises in each year since 2010.
The Home Office let seven contracts over the requested time period with Charity organisations where reporting systems captured information.
The Home Office also delivers with these sectors through other non-contractual arrangements with similar organisations, for example Grants and Community sponsorship agreements.
Contracts Awarded | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
Charity | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 0 |
Social Enterprise | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Caveats: | Suppliers are only classified as SME or VCS on our contracts tool. We have used wikipedia definition for Social Enterprises and applied this to our contracts list. |
Above numbers apply to when the contract started, not awarded, as this is how we record information on the contracts tool. |
