<p>The Department is still considering the scope and procurement process for grants
to support the implementation of the Tobacco Control Plan. As such there has been
no formal communication with Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) or any other organisation
on the proposed tender for tobacco control in England. We have informed ASH that the
tender process was yet to commence, and reiterated that the grant will be competed
for, in line with Cabinet Office standards for new grants. All interested applicants
will need to follow the terms and conditions of the tender after the invitation for
bids has been announced.</p>
