FOI2019/00005: UKRI LEP Breakdown
Case reference FOI2019/00005
Published 2 July 2021
Request
Request Received: 4 December 2019
First request 2019/0280:
We are interested in determining how your budget is spent geographically - specifically how much and what percentage of your budget is spent in each Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area of England? It would be great if you could provide this information for the past five years if possible.
Follow up Request 2019/00005:
1. On top of the Innovate UK monies, what else is included in the figures you have provided?
2. We are particularly interested in information relating to University Research Funding and Block Grant - please can you provide further information on LEP spend for these, for all parts of the country?
3. You said that you do not hold any data relevant to our request from Research England. Who does hold this information? What is your role and what information do you hold in relation to Research England? If it is a case that you are unable to provide information by LEP level, we are happy to receive it at postcode level or an alternative (lowest level) geography.
4. Please can you provide actual figures for spend, and not just %.
Clarification was requested on 04 December 2019 to check if you would like to know how much money is used to fund catapults or the grants catapults are involved in.
The following Clarification was received on 04 December 2019:
5. We are interested in money used to fund the catapult and grants they receive (not the total grants they are involved in) Why - we would like to understand what is spent in our area, as national centres and big re-ceiver of grants, the catapults can potentially distort the figures - this is important since the Catapult in our area is split across 2 LEP areas - but since its HQ is in the Tees Valley all the funds are nominally allo-cated to our LEP region.
