In the Levelling Up White paper BEIS committed to work to collect this data at a regional level for all of its R&D spend.
UKRI publish detailed breakdowns of their funding data at a regional level annually, the latest available data is on UKRI's Regional distribution of funding – UKRI. In addition, the UKRI Gateway https://gtr.ukri.org/ provides data on publicly funded research and innovation which is searchable by year and region.
