Decision details

Grants4growth is a capital grant scheme that has been successfully run by the South Holland Economic Development Team for the last 7 years, funded previously by ERDF monies, this project has now finished and is in the last throes of financial wind up.
However, the team is still in place, and an expression of interest and a successful full application has been submitted to UKSPF to utilise the existing team and methodology to deliver the supporting local business strand of UKSPF. The ‘new’ Grants4growth project will administer this funding on behalf of the three sovereign authorities within the SELCP, and to enable this, two members of the team, will need S113 status to enable them to work across and on behalf of, the wider partnership, they are both currently South Holland employees.

The Budget Manager for the SHDC Inward Investment Service, will require S113 status to enable the approval of grant payments to businesses across each individual authority.
The projects senior administrator, will oversee the day to day management and running of the project and will need S113 authority to make decisions on behalf of all three authorities.

The alternative option is to not grant S113 status which would result in Grants4growth only being delivered in South Holland.
