Notice Title

Development of Sandwell's Place Based Strategy

Notice Description

Objectives ? Produce a Place Based Strategy for Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council for submission to the WMCA by 26 June 2024. Background Aligned to the Single Settlement and West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) trailblazer deeper devolution deal, announced in Spring 2023; the WMCA Single Settlement Working Paper, outlined that West Midlands Local Authorities would be required to develop Place Based Strategies - Sandwell Council are now looking to appoint consultancy support to deliver our Place Based Strategy. The 'single settlement' was one of the significant commitments in the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) trailblazer deeper devolution deal announced at the 2023 Spring Budget. In March 2024 the WMCA Board agreed to enter a Single Settlement MoU with Government. At every Spending Review, WMCA will be allocated a single funding settlement for local transport, adult skills, housing and regeneration, local growth and place, and retrofitting buildings (retrofitting is on a pilot basis). This consolidated funding will replace the individual grants the region currently receives from HMG relating to the functions of the single settlement. Where an individual fund is within scope of the single settlement, WMCA and its constituent local authorities will not need to - nor be able to - bid to government for an additional share beyond what we will be directly allocated as part of the Spending Review process. The single settlement represents a significant change to how the region will receive funding from HMG for the relevant functions. It will enable Local Authorities, including Sandwell, to develop place-based strategies, which will set out how the functions of the single settlement, and other sources of public and private investment, will come together in places to drive inclusive economic growth over the long-term.
