Public sector sales-enablement tool Stotles has released a free NHS Budget Directory offering a consolidated view of Integrated Care System funding sources, budget allocations and procurement plans this fiscal year.
39 of England’s 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) have published Capital Resource Plans, revealing funding sources, capital allocations and confirmed projects for 2023/2024. Within these Capital Resource Plans, ICSs reveal their "Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit" (CDEL), essentially a combined total budget for the fiscal year.
To help you understand the funding available across the NHS, Stotles have ranked ICSs by their CDELs below.

To help you understand how these budgets are allocated to authorities within each ICSs, this section provides explanatory notes on North West London's capital breakdown as an example case.
With a CDEL of £343m, North West London (NWL) boasts the largest budget of London's 5 ICSs in 2023/2024.
Responsible for equitably distributing capital to the 9 Trusts across their ICS, North West London's Capital Resource Plan reveals how the ICB will allocate funding in the 2023/24 fiscal year.
North West London ICS has a total CDEL of £343m, including £219m of Operational Capital, £86m from National Programme funding and £26m from New Hospital Programme & upgrades.
These funding sources are explained below.
NHS trusts use this budget to support ‘business as usual’ schemes, such as backlog maintenance, equipment replacement and IT expenditure. NHS England provide ICB's a capital allocation at the start of the financial year. ICB's are then responsible for distributing it to member trusts based on the needs of their population.
Suppliers working in Medical Technology and IT & Software can target authorities based on these budgets allocations.
National Programme funding is held centrally by NHS England, directed towards trusts priority projects like Targeted Investment Fund, Frontline Digitisation, Diagnostics and Mental Health, among others.
Other funding includes technical accounting adjustments such as PFI residual interest and the Impact of IFRS 16. In some cases, funding that falls into "Other" may also include small donations, or peppercorn leases.
A CDEL is essentially a total system budget. It is the sum of operational capital, national programme funding and other technical accounting metrics.
To help you visualise this funding, we have provided an infographic of the capital allocation in North West London below.
As well as confirming funding sources and allocations, Capital Resource Plans also reveals major projects that have received funding for the upcoming year. This section provides further detail on projects funding has been allocated for, and highlights confirmed procurement opportunities that suppliers can pre-engage over.
The remainder of Stotles NHS Budge Directory provides similar budget summaries and confirmed procurement projects for the remaining 38 ICSs.
