Capital Modernisation Fund (CMF)

What is the CMF?

The Capital Modernisation Fund was set up in the Comprehensive Spending Review to support capital investment to improve public services. An additional £200 million was added to the Fund for 2000-01 as part of the Budget 2000 announcement to take the total size of the Fund to £2.7 billion over 1999-00 to 2001-02.

The Fund is allocated on a competitive basis and on the following criteria:

• the extent the project applies genuinely innovative approaches to service delivery;

• the quality and strength of the economic appraisal of the project;

• the impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the service;

• how far the project contributes to the department’s objectives;

• how far the project is genuinely additional; and

• the robustness of arrangements for delivering, managing, accounting, monitoring and evaluating the project.
