Notice Title

GLCCA- Local Growth Plan Proposal

Notice Description

As the government's devolution programme evolves, Local Growth Plans remain a central tool for Strategic Authorities to articulate growth priorities for their regions. As a statutory requirement for Mayoral Strategic Authorities, they are consistently cited and linked to a range of government policy and funding announcements - covering a range from capital growth funding, to innovation programmes, to skills and employability support. Local Growth Plans are intended to inform policy and funding across government departments. Having a credible Local Growth Plan based on robust evidence and agreed among public and private sector partners, that is actionable and looks to the long term, is now a priority for Lincolnshire to develop early in 2026. GLCCA require an approach that maximises articulation of Greater Lincolnshire's sector strengths and opportunities and sets you up to develop a robust investment pipeline with private sector partners. GLCCA require a comprehensive Local Growth Plan covering the following elements: * Project inception * Evidence and priorities * LGP development
