Reasons for recommendations
It is important to have a clear
framework and principles for delivery of UKSPF and REPF aligned to
the requirements of the fund and endorsed by Members. However, it
is recognised that it may be necessary to adjust delivery to ensure
that funds are allocated where they can have most impact and remain
responsive to opportunities as they arise throughout the timescales
of the programme. This will ensure momentum is maintained within
the delivery timescales and reduce the chance of delay, which would
raise the risk of not spending the full allocation or achieving the
necessary outcomes and outputs.
 
Other
options considered and rejected
No other options have been
considered, as it is essential to have clear governance and
decision-making routes in place that comply with the requirements
of the UKSPF and REPF programme.
