Request

I would like to know how much the council has spent on its bids to the Government's Levelling Up Fund. I would like the information to cover all of the costs associated with the bid, broken down into the type of cost (e.g. staffing, admin, etc.) I would also like the information broken down into each bid to the Levelling Up Fund (round one and round two).

Response

• For LUF round 1 RBC paid £1,500 for consultancy support for the development of a bid however no bid was submitted as there was insufficient information available at the time
• For LUF round 2 RBC paid £16,610 to 2 companies (ITP World £9,785 and Bentleys Project Management £6,825) to produce the application for Government. This bid was submitted but was unsuccessful
