Request for more information about SBRI awards

The request was partially successful.

Dear Department for the Economy (Northern Ireland),

According to the EconomyNI website, SBRI, the Small Business Research Initiative, enables the public sector to tap into new ideas and technologies and speeds up their adoption. It helps government departments connect with innovative businesses to solve the tough challenges facing the public sector.

I would like to understand more about the innovation that has been brought, it's cost and details of any follow on projects. Could you therefore please provide:

1. A list of all SBRI competitions you have run, their titles, description, dates and budgets.
2. A list of all awards made, including company name, funding amount, project titles, application forms (so that we may better understand how they are addressing the challenge)
3. The assessment criteria and scores for each project and successful application (again so we may better understand how taxpayers money is being used effectively)
4. Details of any projects which have led to the adoption of the innovation or further funding.
5. Final project reports for any completed projects, so that their level of success can be understood
6. Any post project assessments carried out to determine the outcomes or effectiveness of completed projects.

Yours faithfully,
David Andrews
