How to apply
You can apply by completing our online form - Application form
If you are unable to complete the online form or if you wish to see all the questions to help you prepare the information, please see the Microsoft Word version of the form.
We recommend that you read through the guidance carefully before completing your application form.
Please complete all sections of the form to ensure we have the information required to assess your project. Unfortunately, we will not have the opportunity to come back to organisations to ask for further information ahead of the initial assessment therefore please ensure that you have included all relevant information within the form.
If you are completing the Microsoft Word version of the form, please return it to investinargyll@argyll-bute.gov.uk.
Organisations will be given the chance at the end of the EOI to submit 1 document (up to 3 pages long) of supporting information. We advise that you have this ready before you complete the online form. Supporting information could include drawings, photographs and other information to help us to understand your project and why it is needed.
Your EOI must be submitted by Monday 30th March 2026 at 10:00am.
You can only submit one EOI per organisation.
Any submissions received after the deadline will not be considered. If you are having difficulties submitting your Expression of Interest, then please contact us before the deadline.
In submitting an EOI, organisations should be aware that it is likely that a further competitive application process will be required if they are selected to proceed. Organisations should ensure that:
- There is approval through the organisation's governance to proceed with the project;
- They have the resources available to prepare, with support from Council officers, any required application forms (likely over spring/summer 2026);
- They have the resources available to progress and deliver the project in line with any timescales associated with funding. This may include progressing design work, consenting, other funding applications etc. ahead of any decision on funding through this process.
