Uncompeted grant

Functional Standards Common Glossary, published by the Cabinet Office, defines an uncompeted grant as: ‘A grant that is awarded to a single organisation or individual without a competition, for example, where there is only a single organisation that has the capability of delivering the objectives. Grant in aid is not part of this category because although it can strictly be defined as uncompeted, it should be categorised as a grant in aid. Often referred to as a ‘direct award’.’
