Better grant management is a value-for-money question
The UK government spent around £160 billion on grants in 2024 to 2025, roughly 12% of total public expenditure. Source: Cabinet Office, Government grants statistics 2024 to 2025.
The National Audit Office estimates that better grant management could deliver up to £1.9 billion in annual savings, based on 2022-23 figures. Manual processes, spreadsheets and disconnected inboxes make that saving hard to reach and harder to evidence. Source: National Audit Office, Government’s general grant schemes (2024).
Submit.com replaces those manual steps with one auditable system, so your team spends less time on administration and can show funders, auditors and elected members exactly how public money was allocated and why.

UK customer story

After reviewing five vendors, the council moved from scattered spreadsheets and Outlook to Submit.com, going live with its first schemes in three months. The reported results speak for themselves.

“Don’t be put off by worries about IT skills. If I can lead this change, anyone can. The result is a simpler, faster, more transparent grants process, and more time to work with the community.”
UK customer story
Suffolk County Council: grants of any size, one clear process
Suffolk County Council runs its grant funding end to end on Submit.com, from application through due diligence checks, panel scoring and offer letters to claims. Every grant follows the same clear path, whether it is a single-claim community grant or a £1 million award spread across eighteen months with multiple claims tracked against cash flow.
The funding table calculates cash and in-kind match funding as part of the overall project cost, so a scheme requiring, say, fifty per cent match is worked out inside the form. When a project changes, a change-request phase lets the team reprofile an award and reissue a clear explanation to the applicant, with the reasons recorded for audit.
Subsidy control is handled through self-certification: most schemes run under Minimal Financial Assistance, and applicants confirm their position at both offer and claim stages, alongside the team’s own due diligence. Read the full Suffolk case study.
“We’ve got a slick, efficient grant process now. Happier team, way less paperwork. Going digital was not just a tech upgrade, it was a mindset shift, and it’s really made all the difference.”
