In December 2021 we released Preparing for investment in 2023. This information informs your planning and submissions for the Investment Round. Unlike recent years the formal Plan Guidance (the document which communicates the specific requirements for Investment Plans and how they will be assessed) will not be released until February 2022. For investment in 2023 the Plan Guidance, the Investment Plan Gazette notice, and the briefs and template that make up the Investment Toolkit, will be released simultaneously.
