Integrated Settlements for Mayoral Combined Authorities
Details of the integrated settlements for Mayoral Combined Authorities.
At Autumn Budget 2024, the government announced that integrated settlements will be implemented for Greater Manchester and West Midlands Combined Authorities at the start of the 2025-26 financial year, and for four further Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) from 2026-27 – the North East, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Liverpool City Region.
The arrangements underlying these Integrated Settlements are set out in the documents for the Memorandum of Understanding for the single settlements (MoU). A high-level overview of this approach is given in the following section.
Further details of the Integrated Settlement for the 2026-27 financial year, including the functional responsibilities, scope, allocation mechanisms and allocated amounts, will be confirmed following the conclusion of Spending Review 2025 (SR25).
Background
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sets out the underlying arrangements for the Integrated Settlements for Greater Manchester and the West Midlands Combined Authorities. The MoU will be reviewed before the end of every Spending Review period to ensure it remains fit for purpose. Therefore, the MoU will be updated following the conclusion of SR25.
As set out in the MoU, the functional responsibilities, scope, allocation mechanisms and quantum of the Integrated Settlement will be determined at Spending Reviews. National funding lines falling under one of the functional responsibilities will be included in the settlements according to the process set out in the MoU.
This page will be updated with the funds in scope, allocation mechanisms and allocated amounts for the Integrated Settlements for each Spending Review period.
The funds in scope, allocation mechanisms and allocated amounts for the 2025 to 2026 financial year period are set out below. The Integrated Settlement outcomes and targets remain subject to consideration and agreement by both the MCAs and national government.
