Details

Argyll and Bute Council is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from public sector and community organisations who are looking to deliver for large-scale capital projects. By gathering this information early, they can better understand which projects may be suitable for external funds that may become available.

The Council administers a range of external funding programmes where the Council must be the applicant, but they can apply on behalf of another public sector or community organisation, usually on a competitive basis, for them to deliver projects in their local area.

As there have been no announcements of funding, organisations should be aware that submitting an EOI comes with no guarantee that there will be suitable funding available or if funding becomes available that they will be selected to go forward to application stage.

Projects must be:

• Capital projects being delivered within Argyll and Bute with a minimum value of £50,000
• Projects which are delivering significant regeneration or economic benefits to their community i.e. they should be creating new facilities or expanding existing to enable them to offer new facilities or services;
• Projects which can demonstrate a community need and support e.g. through community survey, plan or local place plan;
• Projects which can be delivered (i.e. construction started) in either the 2026/7 or 2027/8 financial year;
• Projects which will be self-sustaining and viable in the long-term and where the proposals include plans for the operation and ongoing maintenance of the capital investment.

EOIs will be assessed on how organisations demonstrate:

• Local needs, local support and community involvement
• Deliverability
• Long-Term Viability
