DSIT Commercial do not hold this information but all contracts awarded by DSIT are published on contracts finder and can be accessed at GOV.UK and find a tender service.
DSIT Grants are mostly awarded the standard grant funding agreement recommended by Cabinet Office.
To provide the detail requested would incur disproportionate costs to the department.
