Details

The UK government will assess bids from across the UK against a common assessment framework.

Applications will be scored using this framework, and final decisions on funding will be made by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).

This guidance is a streamlined version of the same guidance which assessors will use in order to assess applications to round 2 window 3 of the fund. This guidance is written for assessors but will show applicants what we require in application form answers in order to obtain either a satisfactory, good or strong score. We suggest that applicants use this guidance to support them in their application to the fund.
