New Tay Cities Region Deal Funding Opportunities – as the deal marks five-year milestone

Announcement here: https://www.taycities.co.uk/new-business-opportunities-open-tay-cities-region-deal-marks-five-year-milestone

Deadline: 13 March 2026

The Tay Cities Region Deal is inviting new proposals for innovation and regeneration as part of a reshaping exercise, opening fresh opportunities for ambitious projects that could play a key role in the region’s future.

As the partnership reaches the halfway point of the 10-year deal, a formal review is underway to assess progress and ensure continued delivery in a changing economic environment. The review may identify projects that are no longer able to progress within the original timescales, creating space for new, high-impact proposals to come forward.

The Tay Cities Partnership is now seeking visionary and ambitious projects that align with its aim to create a fairer, smarter Tay Cities region. New proposals must request a minimum of £5 million in capital funding from the Region Deal.

Organisations with eligible projects are encouraged to review the criteria available on the Tay Cities Region Deal website (see the Strategic Outline Case Guidance and Template) and contact the relevant local authority for early discussions. Strategic Outline Business Cases must be submitted by 13 March 2026.
