Has anyone found any new info regarding this? Not easy to find much related to UKRI and the results of their "COVID-19 Rapid Response Rolling Call"
https://mrc.ukri.org/funding/browse/ukri-nihr-covid-19/ukri-nihr-covid-19-rolling-call/
When are the likes of Scancell/Bristol likely to hear anything?

...Award Start Date
Given that this opportunity is for timely proposals, grants are expected to start within four weeks of award notification.
"
"..Closing date: 30 Jun 2020". IMO...some irony calling it "rapid".
P.S. Some useful bits in that link, worth a read if you haven't already:
"Funding available
The size of grants will vary according to the needs of each research project but will need to provide a robust case for value for money.
Requested costs for UK based researchers should be 80% of full economic costs (fEC) and, where relevant, for overseas researchers should be 100% of direct costs only. Funded projects in academia will be subject to standard UKRI T&Cs for fEC research grants. In line with NIHR funding policy this call will cover 100% direct costs for SME[1] and NHS trusts (across the whole of the UK). NIHR funding for NHS Trusts and SMEs, where they are the lead applicant, will be subject to a research contract which sets out a revenue sharing approach. An example contract for NHS trusts can be found here; an example contract for SMEs can be found here. Contractual terms for awards provided to UK-based, non-SME commercial entities will be agreed on a case-by-case basis between NIHR and the applicant. There are no set rules on the split between collaborators, however, as the contracted organisation, the lead applicant will receive funding payments and would be required to distribute to co-applicants/contractors where applicable. Awards issued to NHS organisations through this initiative will be eligible for Research Capability Funding.
Applicants should provide costs of the proposal as set out in the application form. In Section 1.5 please provide the total request against each category, and provide a breakdown for 80% fEC and 100% costs in parentheses in the same field; the overall (top line) total request should be the sum of staff costs, travel, consumables and other directly incurred costs, and indirect, directly allocated and estates costs (the latter only applicable to fEC applications). A brief description of the resources required, including estimated costs, in the different contributing environments and confidence in access to these will need to be provided in Section 3.4."
