Funding available for well-developed strategic projects

The North East Local Enterprise Partnership (North East LEP) is inviting new strategic capital infrastructure projects that can help deliver the ambition set out in our Strategic Economic Plan.

Projects that are well developed and are able to demonstrate the potential to commence in 2016/17 or promptly in 2017/18 are particularly encouraged to come forward at this time. Indicatively we expect to allocate between £14m and £30m through this call.

There are no strict upper or lower thresholds to project size or amount of support requested, but investments should be of a scale that can make a significant economic impact.

Prospective applicants, who can be from public, private or voluntary sector, are encourage in the first instance to read the Project Call Information. Additional information is also available on our Growth Deals funding page.
