Increase your chances of a successful outcome

Navigating the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) process, from application criteria to the strategic presentation of your project, demands thorough understanding and attention to detail

To help you produce a winning bid, the team at S2e have developed a useful checklist to improve your chances of success. It will tell you:

  • what data and documentation you need

  • how to project plan

  • how to budget and plan financially for success

As more schools enter SCA eligible trusts, the funding allocated to CIF is shrinking. Despite this, nearly one third of institutions available for the Condition Improvement Fund are in SCA condition bands H or below, meaning their schools estate is below average condition. Please see here for more information on SCA condition bands or contact us directly to discuss your band.

After a decade of writing CIF bids, our key piece of advice to increase your chance of success, is to start planning for your next submission as early as possible.
