This guidance is intended to support local authorities in administering the Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund (MSIF) in 2024 to 2025.

It should be read alongside the Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund grant determination 2024 to 2025.

The Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund: local authority reporting template combines the MSIF final 2023 to 2024 report and the MSIF initial 2024 to 2025 report.

Local authorities need to complete and return the report to the Department of Health and Social Care by 11:59pm on 22 May 2024.

The MSIF 2024 to 2025 capacity plan return is formed of 2 parts:

  • Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund: qualitative capacity plan template
  • Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund: quantitative capacity plan template

Local authorities need to complete and return both together to the department by 11:59pm on 10 June 2024.
