If you are a potential applicant with a project of this size, you must email the SCP inbox – supplychainplan@beis.gov.uk – a week before you submit your plan so that we can establish you a secure area for uploading your documents.

The SCP questionnaire and guidance may be accessed via the AR4 microsite.
