Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

The MCA Board approved the revised Assurance Framework which provides for a one-stop governance process.

The Framework allows for schemes that are accepted into the programme to access development funding. Development funding is a key component in supporting the development of quality schemes at pace and is distributed on conclusion of the Strategic Business Case.

In July 2023 the MCA Board granted approval to delegate authority to the Head of Paid Service in consultation with Portfolio Leaders and the Section 73 and Monitoring Officer to approve the release of development cost funding in line with the Assurance Framework to enable schemes to progress as efficiently as possible.

In August 2023 the SYMCA Programme Board approved the Strategic Business Case and released £0.34m grant to aid development of the business case. Additional development grant is now being requested to enable business case progression.
