Basildon for Business - The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF)
The purpose of this Investment Plan is to set out how Basildon intends to spend the £1,281,877 of UKSPF funding that it has been allocated between 2022 and 2025, to achieve the overarching goal of Building Pride of Place and Increasing Life Chances, in Basildon Borough.
On the 5th December 2022, we received a notification from DLUHC about the outcome of the validation of our UKSPF Investment Plan, which required two minor amendments to the deliverables spreadsheet. Following further communication, our UKSPF Investment Plan was formally approved on 13 of January 2023.
The purpose of this web page is to publish information about the membership and work of the Basildon Borough UKSPF Investment Panel and provide details of the lead officer responsible for co-ordinating the process of developing the prospectus.
In publishing this information, we welcome approaches from a range of partner organisations who may want to understand more about the process and what the potential proposals are.
Prior to the submission of the Investment Plan we scheduled three Basildon Borough UKSPF Investment Panels, which were held virtually to agree the Investment Plan. Following approval, the Committee will continue to meet, in order to oversee the implementation of the plan.
