Other grants are based on a bidding process with submission of a business case prior to the award of funding. In these cases, it is not possible to split the budget allocation between geographical regions at this early stage of the financial year, although an estimate has been provided based on current cashflow projections submitted by delivery partners. These include the Band B Capital Programme, Community Focussed Schools, VA Urgent Repairs, Childcare and Early Years, and Welsh Medium capital grants.
Budgets in relation to Higher Education Research Capital, Higher Education Estates Maintenance and Commission of Tertiary Education Research (CTER) capital grants are lump sum allocations that are not budgeted by region.
For the purposes of this response, the budgets in the table below are provided by local authority area and includes funding for schools, colleges, universities and diocesan authorities in each region. The table includes capital funding related to fixed allocations, as well as funding for approved projects as explained above. Due to the nature of capital projects, funding for approved projects is likely to change throughout the year and is currently based on the most recent cashflow projection provided by the relevant delivery partner.
