I am currently researching the digitalisation of the UK's public sector - with a focus on committee meeting technology. I wanted to ask a few questions regarding this:
1. How do you manage your meetings (organise agenda, minutes etc)? Do you use a committee meeting management software such as a board portal (CMIS, Modern.Gov, iBabs etc) or just emails etc?
2. If yes, what is the name of the supplier?
3. If yes, what is the contract expiry and contract review date?
4. How many users are on the board portal/management solution, and how much do you spend on this?
5. What is your cost per user?
Could I also kindly ask for contact details for the best lead regarding this?

Currently looking into the geographical distribution of funding on the UKRI website.
Is this information available at a more granular level? Its currently at the NUTS1 level but wondering if it could be as granular as LEP's or local authorities. Any idea if this is available or where I could look for this?
