EDG Supported Costs in Singapore (2026): What’s Claimable + Vendor Quotation

EDG budgets are easiest to assess when costs map cleanly to scope → deliverables → milestones → outcomes. Common supported categories include third-party consultancy, software/equipment, and qualifying internal manpower (project-related). Require vendors to submit itemised quotations by work package and deliverable (avoid lump sums). Separate licensing/subscription vs implementation services clearly. Plan evidence early: quotation/contract, invoices, payment proof, deliverables, and role-based manpower allocation.

EDG applications are submitted via the Business Grants Portal (BGP) using CorpPass.

Your proposal must be specific: scope → deliverables → milestones → measurable outcomes → budget justification. Expect clarifications after submission; respond quickly to avoid delays. Accept the Letter of Offer in BGP before treating the project as approved/committed. Avoid common pitfalls: vague scope, generic outcomes, missing quotations, and inconsistent numbers across proposal and budget.
