Regional Growth Fund Expression of Interest and event

15th May - Liverpool

The regional events include speeches and seminars by Lord Heseltine and the RGF team giving general advice and guidance on how to put together good bids.  They will also provide an opportunity for potential bidders to have an informal one-to-one discussion with RGF team officials on outline expressions of interest, as well as appointments you can book to have an EOI meeting with the team. EOIs are described below.

The aim of the EOI meeting is to discuss the concept of the bid and provide advice on how best to complete the application form. Those who were unsuccessful in Round 2 can use the EOI meeting as an opportunity for feedback and to improve their bid if they are considering resubmitting.

To book an EOI meeting: email or call the RGF team at growthfund@bis.gsi.gov.uk or on 020 7215 6758 / 0207 215 3821 indicating your region and specifying the reason for your meeting - to discuss a new proposal or a previous application.

To discuss a new proposal please submit a draft application form - section B as a minimum should be completed. If you wish to discuss a previous bid please provide the project reference.

EOI meeting appointments will be available until 31 May 2012 for Round 3 of the RGF.

Please note that roadshow attendance and EoI meetings must be booked in advance.  To do this, stakeholders should email or telephone the RGF team (growthfund@bis.gsi.gov.uk - 0207 215 6758 / 3821), stating which roadshow they wish to attend and advising whether they want to book an EoI meeting also.  Those seeking EoI meetings must also email a draft expression of interest (to the same email address) in the form of a draft RGF application form with section A & B completed at a minimum.   The application forms and guidance are on the website.
