About our pilot projects

In October 2022, we held workshops to tell stakeholders about the opportunity to apply to deliver pilot projects.

Facilitators helped applicants to write business case applications for their projects, which were then independently appraised. The Norfolk Investment Framework Steering Group endorsed applications on 24 January 2023. Cabinet approved 12 pilot projects on 6 March 2023.

The projects must submit quarterly monitoring reports on their progress to Norfolk County Council. The Steering Group will also review these reports to ensure projects are:

• On track, and
• Being delivered against the funding criteria.

At the end of each pilot project, we will share project's outcome. The Council will commission an independent evaluation of all the pilot projects. We expect to publish a report of this evaluation in April 2025.
