Project Request Form

The Project Request Form is a request in accessing project support from us. It's designed to inform our Team with the necessary information about your project's needs, feasibility, and business case.

If you'd prefer to have an informal chat over coffee about your project before filling out this form, please get in touch with us and a member of the team will be more than happy to meet up with you to discuss your needs.

If you're unsure of what happens before or after submitting this form, please review the process.

Completing the form

For smaller projects or where you can be complete the form in a single session, we recommend filling out the form online:

What happens next

The Programme Board (and the Steering Group, if necessary) will review your Request Form to decide if the project is something we can offer support on.

If approved, support will be delivered to the requester/s on an agreed timeline. Support offered can be varied in terms of time and expertise. Each project will have it's own individual requirements.

Here is a reminder of our process:

Step 1. Coffee chat

An initial chat between someone with a potential project and any member of the D&SD team. This will enable an opportunity to talk through the process and introduce the PRF.

Step 2. Complete Project Request Form

The ‘problem’ should be outlined within the PRF. However, the conversation with colleagues will help to identify any additional details which could be added to improve the D&SD team’s understanding of the project and the form can be amended accordingly by the project contact point.

Step 3. Submit Project Request Form

This should be submitted to the D&SD team by following the instructions on either the manual or online form.

Step 4. Programme Board discusses Project Request Form

This involves the team needing to assess the project priority level, timescales, technical considerations, and resource availability to support the work.

Step 5. Confirmation given to project

The lead contact / project sponsor will receive an update from the D&SD team as to whether the D&SD could support the delivery of the project in question. If agreed project timescales and approach will be discussed further.
