Argyll and Bute Rural Growth Deal Business Cases
The Rural Growth Deal (RGD) is a $91 million investment in economic growth for Argyll and Bute. It focuses on turning economic potential into a successful future for the community by investing in initiatives that will transform the area’s natural resources and business innovation into a thriving local economy. The Argyll and Bute Council appointed us to progress a suite of project and program business cases across the RGD.
For each business case, we assessed the strategic value of the interventions and developed a detailed options appraisal process and bespoke economic impact model. Further financial analysis demonstrated commercial viability and realistic and affordable project costs. We also assessed and evidenced commercial viability. We developed project management plans including governance arrangements, a framework for managing risk, and a process for monitoring and evaluation.
The Council and Scottish and UK Governments maintained close communication with our team throughout the process, giving us valuable insight into current views and funding requirements.
