End Date:

dd/mm/yyyy

Project Summary. Please provide a brief summary of the proposed project.

Please describe the project outputs (in other words what will the project deliver, e.g. training courses provided, employment opportunities, apprenticeships created etc). If you have any estimates or targets for your project please include them here

Estimate how many people will benefit from your project:

Please provide details of the benefits to be delivered to these people

Please explain why the project is needed and why NDA Group funding is necessary

Please explain how the project will help the people in your community and how you will involve people from your community in the work you do

The NDA uses an approach based on His Majesty’s Treasury standard methodology for making investment decisions (i.e. the 5-case model) which considers:

The Strategic case for the project
The Economic case for the project
The Commercial case for the project
The Financial case for the project
The Management case for the project

Please refer to the Applicants guidance for a description of each case.

If you are applying for more than £200,000 of NDA funding, we would expect the project to have a stand-alone business case which should be attached with this application. If a project business case does not exist, please contact the relevant Group Socio-Economic Team before completing this form.

Strategic Case

The strategic case sets out why the funding you are applying for is needed and why the project you are seeking support for should go ahead. To assess the strategic case, the NDA group will consider your application and any additional evidence you provide which covers:

The local need or opportunity your project is addressing.
Whether your project is aligned with the NDA Social Impact and Communities Strategy (2024).
What the project will do (outputs) and also what it is trying to achieve (outcomes).
How you are measuring success.
Levels of local support for your project and how this local support is expressed (for example financial support, in-kind, policy).
How the project is consistent with, and ideally supports, national or local government strategies.

Strategic Case Details

Please set out what local need or opportunity your project is addressing.

Please explain how your project is aligned with the NDA Social Impact and Communities Strategy (2024). Include reference to the six strategic themes in the strategy and how your project meets one or more of these.

We make a distinction between outputs and outcomes. An output is what a project delivers (e.g. training young people) and an outcome is what changes as a result (e.g. people use the training to get a better job).

Please set out the project outputs and describe the intended outcomes.

How will you be able to demonstrate that the project has been successfully delivered? What does success look like?

Provide details of which local stakeholders have expressed support for your project (e.g. residents, local council, chamber of commerce etc) and how this local support is expressed (e.g. letters of support, financial support, in-kind, policy).

Please set out how the project is consistent with – and ideally supports - national or local government strategies. Include references to specific policies and strategies where appropriate.

The NDA cannot fund activity which duplicates core activity funded by any Government departments or local councils. For example, services which are the statutory duty of the Department of Health or Department of Education. If you think this might be a risk or a consideration, please include details.

Economic Case

This Economic Case is designed to help us assess the economic costs and benefits of the project to the local community. It covers:

Why NDA support is needed and what the likely economic/social/environmental impacts would be due to a lack of any support.
Information to demonstrate why your organisation cannot fund the project itself.
That other methods to achieve the same/similar outcomes have been ruled out.
That you have thought about other ways to deliver the outcomes of your proposed project and have ruled them out for sensible reasons.
How much of the expected outcomes might happen anyway without NDA support.

Economic Case Details

Please explain why financial support is required from NDA and the likely implications if your organisation does not secure NDA funding.

Supporting evidence can be emails/letters showing organisations that you have approached, rejection emails, letters of support, bank statements.

Please explain why the project cannot or should not be funded by the applicant directly and, if relevant, give information on any other organisations that have been approached for funding.

Supporting evidence can be emails/letters showing organisations that you have approached, rejection emails, letters of support, bank statements.

One of the things the NDA needs to consider is whether there are alternative ways of delivering the outcomes your project is seeking to achieve. Please briefly list any alternative models that have been considered and why they have been ruled out (e.g. alternative finance options, other delivery partners etc).

Is there a more appropriate body/route?

Please set out why your organisation is the most appropriate one to deliver this project.

Commercial Case

This part of the application is concerned with feasibility and sustainability and the effect of funding changes on deliverability. It should address any procurement required, such as the purchase of goods or services. It should clarify contractual questions, including contractual milestones and delivery dates. It should set out who is responsible for agreed outputs. Risk management should be dealt with here also. We are expecting to see:

Evidence that the project is regarded as feasible and deliverable.
Evidence that the organisation delivering the project is a sustainable, reliable partner.
Clear and credible milestones and delivery dates.
What (if any) procurement is required and is there a procurement strategy?
Identification of risks and a plan to mitigate against them.
Any major dependencies – in other words, whether project dependent on any decisions or events outside of the applicant’s control.

Commercial Case Details

Section 4

Subsidy Control

Our grants are subject to UK International Subsidy Control rules (formally State Aid), which are designed to prevent the taxpayer from giving unfair subsidies. A subsidy is where a public authority (eg NDA group, local authorities etc) provides funds which may be seen to give an economic or commercial advantage to the recipient. The following questions will allow the NDA to determine whether this grant may need to be recorded as a subsidy.

4.1 Has your organisation received grants or other forms of subsidy from any public body in the last 3 years?

4.2 If this application is successful could the total amount of grants/subsidies your organisation has received from public bodies exceed £315,000 in the last 3 years?

4.3 Please provide details and values of the other grants/subsidies received in the last three years.

4.4 Please indicate the size of your organisation:

Micro (fewer than 10 employees)	Small (between 10 and 49 employees)
Medium (between 50 and 249 employees)	Large (250 or more employees)

4.5 Please explain how your project will pursue a specific public policy objective to-

(a) remedy an identified market failure; or

(b) address an equity rationale (such as social difficulties or distributional concerns).

4.6 Grant funding should be proportionate and limited only to what is necessary to achieve the project, please outline how you have ensured this is the case.

4.7 Subsidies should be designed to bring about a change of economic behaviour of the applicant. That change, in relation to a subsidy- should

(a) be conducive to achieving the specific policy objective; and

(b) not be achieved in the absence of the subsidy being provided.

Please explain how the grant will achieve this:

4.8 Normal business costs are not usually expected to be met by a subsidy. Please explain how you intend to fulfil this requirement.

4.9 Please explain why a grant is the most suitable option for delivering this project and why more conventional business funding options (eg loans) are not considered appropriate.

4.10 Subsidies should be designed to achieve their specific policy objective while minimising any negative effects on competition or investment within the UK. Are there any potential detriments produced by the proposed grant funding and how will these be addressed?

4.11 The beneficial effects of any subsidy (in terms of achieving their specific policy objective) should outweigh any negative effects, including in particular negative effects on:-

(a) competition or investment within the UK:

(b) international trade or investment.

Please explain how this will be achieved:

Please note that certain grants also require an energy and environment assessment to fulfil subsidy control requirements. You will be contacted for further information if this is the case.
