Is Consortium-Building, Budgeting, or Portal Submission Included?

These are common questions, and the answer depends on your specific package, so we've set out the general position here:

- Consortium-building (identifying and coordinating partner organisations) is a specialist, project-specific activity. Ask your account contact whether it's included in your package or available as an add-on.

- Budgeting and work-package design: for grants that require a detailed project budget or work package structure, our Grant Writers will guide you through building this, though the underlying financial figures must come from you or your finance team.

- Funder portal population: we will guide you on what's required and, depending on your package, help populate portal fields — but final submission is always your responsibility as the legal applicant (see our submission responsibility article).

If any of this is critical to your project, raise it at kick-off so it can be confirmed in writing up front.
