The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a central pillar of the UK Governments ambitious levelling up agenda and a significant component of its support for place across the UK. It will provide £2.6 billion of new funding for local investment by March 2025.
In January 2023, the UK Government approved Aberdeen City Council's Investment Plan.
There are three distinct priorities within the UK Shared Prosperity Fund: Communities and Place, Supporting Local Business, People and Skills as well as the Multiply element which is ringfenced for activity to enhance adult numeracy skills provision and proposals.
Funding allocations for the Communities and Place priority have been fully committed for 2022/23 and 2023/24. At this time Expressions of Interest are being sought under the Communities and Place priority only for 2024/25 funding. If your project meets the criteria of the fund , we will send you an application form to complete along with the guidance document. The remaining funding allocation for Communities and Place for 2024/24 is £2.3 million.
For Supporting Local Business, People and Skills and Multiply we have an inhouse/procurement process. They are not currently open for external expressions of interest, but if that changes the web page will be updated.
