Round 3 of the Regional Growth Fund (RGF) is now open with £1bn available for this round, with a closing date of 13 June.
The first two rounds have been very successful – conditional allocations were made to 176 bidders which will leverage over £7.5bn of private sector leverage and deliver around 330,000 jobs.
The Chancellor announced in his Autumn Statement (November 2011) that ‘the Government will increase the Regional Growth Fund for England by £1 billion, and extend it into 2014–15, to provide ongoing support to grow the private sector in areas currently dependent on the public sector.’
For an opportunity to access the RGF, send in your completed application form and supporting documentation by the closing date of 13 June to rgfround3applications@bis.gsi.gov.uk
