Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many procurements undertaken by her Department have taken more than (a) three months, (b) six months, (c) one year and (d) two years.

The information requested is not currently held centrally.

However, Home Office are committed to the HMT Transparency Agenda and EU Competition regulations and therefore all contract requirements and awards that exceed the EU procurement directives' financial thresholds are advertised in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) via contract notices. Furthermore, all requirements and contract awards over £10,000 are published on Contracts Finder at this link: https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder .
