  4. Request Received: 13 April 2021

    I have a query about some data that has been used in the past in a publication on Local Enterprise Partnership Economic Outlooks by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

    We are running a similar report internally to benchmark against other LEP areas, and one of the sources of data in the data annexe (found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/904143/lep-indicator-handbook-2019.pdf) contains information on the Number of Active Grants from UK Research Councils and Innovate UK (Number of Grants, 2018) [Table 70].

    I wonder if anyone could help provide data on how many grants were active during 2018, 2019 and 2020 by NUTS2 region? I want to know how many grants were active during the course of any one year, irrespective of when they started, and irrespective of whether or not they're still active as of today.

    Relating to the Fast Start Competition and the UK Innovate to increase the grant available to £40million.

    Thank you for your response to the information request numbered FOI2020/00378. In your response you noted that provision of project data had been extended until March 2021. Recognising the extension to the Fast Start Competition and the recently reported transparency data, please can Innovate UK provide details of the extent to which each of the potential 800 plus successful recipients have met the programme requirements.

    All projects remain Live for an innovation programme with a completion date of end 2020. Is this correct?

    Please can Innovate UK also provide the base data on projects, grant size allocated and successful delivery of outcomes to be available for the public.
