PBIP - Contracts & Project Assessment

Projects are required to be committed by way of a signed contract for works by the end of March 2025. 

We welcome applications for projects that are already in development, or if your project is already ongoing but has a new element to it. It's important that you are aware that this fund will not cover retrospective work. It only covers work that happens after, and if you receive approval.

If your project is unsuccessful this year, there will be a subsequent call out annually until 2025 for 2025/2026 and projects are welcome to reapply.

Project assessment

Projects will be assessed against eligibility, viability and deliverability and funding will be awarded accordingly.

Applicants should note that it is a condition of award of funding that both the funding agreement with the Council and all contracts for works must be entered into by the dates stated on the application form.

Deliverability is critical so Council officers can support you to ensure your project meets the conditions of the fund, including the timescales set out by the Scottish Government.

Due to the expected high level of interest in this fund, it may be that not all projects will be successful. We encourage you to look at alternative funding streams and we can support you in this search.

If your bid is successful, it may not be awarded the full amount of funding requested or be able to cover all costs. This is so the fund can deliver a significant impact to as wide a variety of communities possible.

In addition, the level of funding awarded will be dependent on the confirmation of the allocation by the Scottish Government.

It's important that your application contains quotes or has thoroughly researched costs which are as accurate as possible. It may be that this funding is not suitable for your project. If that is the case, other funding is available via community funding.
