I can confirm UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) do not hold the information relevant to your request.

Innovate UK funds and supports business and research collaborations, however the Agri-Epi Centre is an independent company and is not owned or managed by Innovate UK and therefore the framework information would not be held by Innovate UK.
