However, any RSL wishing to remain as a stand-alone organisation for development purposes would need to first satisfy the requirements for pre-qualification that are set out in chapter 5 in its own right, and it would then have to compete to secure subsidy. Unless it was able to secure appointment as a stand-alone Lead Developer, it would find it harder to obtain funding with the passage of time, because the great majority of subsidy will increasingly be awarded to the Lead Developers and their consortia.
13. It is also possible that a pre-qualifiedRSL may wish to join another consortium led by another pre-qualified RSL in another part of Scotland. This could happen, for example, where they wished to lead developments in one area but also take ownership of assets developed by another pre-qualified RSL elsewhere.
