Employer Ownership Automotive supply chain project
Companies are invited to submit proposals to support their training projects which will improve the company’s ability to meet its own growth plans, and also contribute to the success of the vehicle manufacturers
it supplies to.
This funding call builds on an earlier investment opportunity for auto supply chain companies (which ran from 6 May 2014 to 25 July 2014.)
There are two main enhancements to the new offer:

• The  minimum grant value is lowered to £40,000.
• And as a result of changes to State Aid regulations, trainees’ wages are eligible costs.

This funding call is open from 3 November 2014 to 6 February 2015.
Companies wishing to apply will need to register on the BIS e-Tendering Portal first. Once registered, and if they are eligible, they must then complete an application form. Companies should read the guidance document before registering.
