How suppliers and buyers can respond
- Note the application windows, which are often short.
- Prepare eligibility evidence before the announcement.
- Factor incentives into the business case only once they are confirmed.
Incentive schemes change and may not be stackable. Confirm the current terms with the responsible authority.
