The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) operates under a delegated delivery model, meaning lead local authorities are responsible for managing the funding for their area and the allocation of funds to projects.

Lead local authorities in Scotland have been paid £188.6m of the £212m available to them for delivery up to March 2025. The outstanding £16.8m remains available to be paid to lead local authorities at the end of the financial year, based on actual spend. UKSPF funding allocations for 2022-25 are unaffected by the 2024 Autumn Budget announcement.
