Primary sources
The DfE Condition Improvement Fund technical guidance, the Condition Improvement Fund outcomes publication, and the GOV.UK information-for-applicants page are the primary sources for every numeric claim and rules-paragraph on this site.
Refresh cadence
The DfE publishes outcomes once per round, typically in May. The technical guidance is restated at round-open in early November. cifbid.co.uk refreshes within five working days of each publication.
Named author
Editorial review by Oliver Wakefield-Smith, Founder, Digital Signet. No FRICS credentials are claimed. Where the technical depth requires a chartered signature, the source is linked, not paraphrased.
Not promised
We do not bid on your behalf. We do not earn commission on vendor referrals. We do not promise a bid outcome. We do not invent vendor pricing where the vendor does not publish a rate.
