Up to three winning ideas for collaborative projects will be selected to receive a cash prize of £5,000 and up to 10 days of consultancy support, to scope out the initial concept.
The funding can be used for a variety of different purposes, including:
• Buying products or services together to achieve volume discounts and cost savings
• Facilitating access to new markets - marketing and selling together
• Sharing resources such as premises or capital equipment
• Tendering to bid for higher value contracts
• Providing mutual support and advice among members
To help businesses find out more and complete their application, in partnership with Co-operative Development Scotland, we will be delivering an explanatory workshop.
