Funding & Bid Writing

Staying ahead of the funding landscape

Capital funding opportunities are constantly evolving in accordance with governmental policy and focus.

We stay ahead of funding announcements and changes to criteria to ensure our clients have full access to the funding steams available and we remain successful in securing funding during annual bidding rounds. We have over a decade of experience in writing bids and have sector leading success in obtaining funding for building condition, expansion and energy efficiency.

We also recognise the need for a more strategic approach in planning annual school condition allocations and can facilitate the requirements for clients with formulaic capital allocations and those who bid for funding.

What makes our approach different?

• We are all education funding experts which means your initial point of contact will be with you from the very beginning of the bid writing process to the successful completion of a project and beyond.

• We recognise that all establishments need a more strategic approach to managing their estates and want a long-term relationship with our clients.

• We have time to listen and plan what the future of your estate looks like with you, beyond the current project, and can help unlock untapped funding streams to deliver your strategic goals.

• Our experience, supported with inhouse research on capital trends in education gives us expert knowledge which we use to continually improve our clients’ bids for funding.

Through our breadth of clients and longevity in the sector we have developed a network of contacts from funding bodies, such as Salix and Sport England to local authorities and charitable organisations like Swim, who we can connect with to help deliver the most optimal solutions for our clients.
