Important Information
A project start date of no earlier than the 1 April 2024 will be accepted.
The timescale for delivery of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is short; in practice, all projects will need to be completed and final claims submitted by 31 December 2024, to allow time for closure of the programme.
The total uncommitted funds available within this priority area for 24/25 is within the region of £390,000. Projects can submit applications for any amount up to and including £390,000. This will be a competitive process and success will be dependent on the number of applications received and their values.
If your budgetary requirements are likely to fall short of £50,000 due to the short delivery period remaining of 2024-25, please discuss your requirements with the Powys Local Delivery Team (ukspf@powys.gov.uk) prior to submitting your application.
Only revenue funding can be applied for within this open call.
Funding will be paid retrospectively following receipt of an audited and approved claim.
Operating in compliance with the new UK subsidy control regime which began on 4 January 2023, will be a key requirement for any project. All applicants should familiarise themselves with the requirements of the regime: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/subsidy-control-regime
Applicants will be required to detail how the proposed activity will align and support other local, regional or national strategies. Please see page 29 of the Mid Wales Investment Plan for examples.
In submitting an application, you will authorise the local authority/authorities to make the necessary enquiries to check any information that is required for the administration of the UKSPF programme.
