Decision details

On 20 July 2022, full Council delegated authority to the Executive Director Place to manage the Cheshire East UKSPF 2022-25 programme

Prior to launching the call out approval is sought to confirm the schedule of intervention types for which project proposals will be sought and to also agree which intervention types will as an alternative will be taken forward via CEC procurement, direct delivery by CEC or grant schemes as set out in Appendix A.

Additionally, the original approved skeleton programme included reference to the need to reduce allocations proportionately to take account of a 4% administration and management allowance. That 4% is classified as revenue and hence has now been divided between revenue intervention types. In order to respect the original split between the three Investment priorities: People and Skills; Communities and Place; and Supporting Local Business, the 4% has been split at varying rates between the interventions in each investment priority. The revised allocations are set out in Appendix A.

1.         Approve additional projects to be funded utilising UKSPF as identified in the attached UKSPF Programme at Appendix A.

2.         Approve the Intervention types to be included in a call out for additional project proposals again as identified in Appendix A.

3.         Approve the revised allocations for each Intervention type which have been adjusted to allow for the 4% administration and management costs, again as set out in Appendix A.
