Decision:

To continue section 113 status for Deborah Fuller for the reasons set out below.


Reasons for the decision:

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.
However, the team is still in place, and a successful full application was submitted to UKSPF to utilise the existing team and methodology to deliver the supporting local business strand of UKSPF. The ‘new’ Grants4growth project are administering this funding on behalf of the three authorities within the SELCP, and to enable this, two members of the team, Deborah Futter and Nigel Burch, have S113 status to enable them to work across and on behalf of, the wider partnership, they are both currently South Holland employees.
As Grant Administrator for the project, Deborah needs S113 status to enable delivery of the project across the partnership


Alternative options considered:

Not to renew S113 status would mean that Grants4growth could not operate outside of South Holland.
