We have recently concluded the feasibility stage of our randomised controlled trials programme, and have selected a local authority to develop trial proposals with. We will publish further details as part of wider updates to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) evaluation strategy in due course.

Randomised controlled trials are just one part of the UKSPF evaluation, which will involve many local authorities across all parts of the UK. The UKSPF evaluation will utilise impact, process and value for money evaluation at the intervention level, as well as deep-dive case studies at the local authority level to help build a detailed understanding of how well the UKSPF has delivered for places.
