To authorise the submission of an application for external funding from the Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund Phase 4.

The funding was announced on the 28th March 2023 with the application portal opening on the 26th April 2023 – with applications needing to be submitted as soon as the portal opens on the 26th April 2023 as it will be based on first come first received basis and will close once oversubscribed.

As a result urgency was required around the Decision as they was not 28 calendar days prior to the grant application decision being required to be made, call in exception around the decision has also been gained.
