Practical guidance on funding in the EU, US and UK
The Scalebiz guides explain what a funding programme actually requires and whether it is worth your time, using the published rules from TED, SAM.gov, Find a Tender, SEDIA, Grants.gov and UKRI. They are written for the person who has to decide, not for an administrator. To see how Scalebiz applies the same rules automatically, see how the matching engine decides eligibility or check what the Inside subscription costs.
Asking how long a market gives you to bid, rather than what the rules say? Tender response times by market and sector measures every notice published since January 2026: a US construction notice closes in a median 14 days, a French one in 41, on the same CPV code.

Below the threshold simplified procedures are mandatory; above it they are forbidden. The three ceilings Part 13 states, and the rule against splitting a buy.
Labour, overheads, materials, capital usage, subcontract, travel, and everything else. What a day rate may contain, and the costs no category will take.
