How we evaluate applications
We will award grants to those who score the highest.
If we receive less than 20 applications by the deadline, a second cohort will open to invite new applications.
If more than one business gets the same score in the cohort the Economic Development Officer and the Head of Planning and Economic Development will decide who gets the grant.
The scheme will close to applicants after we have allocated all the funding.
