The ICOB grant opened for applications on 14th March, 2024 and closed following an extension on 29th May, 2024. The Power Up grant opened 24th October, 2024 and closed following an extension on 22nd November, 2024. Both of these schemes are closed to applications. The Local Authorities contacted businesses at the time with information on how to apply. The schemes were also widely advertised.

As both schemes are closed, it is not possible to reopen the scheme to new applications or late applications.
