Contract terms and risks

The contract values have been estimated based upon modelled numbers of learners, which may fluctuate over the life of the contract. Therefore the final contract values may change over the life of the contract based upon workforce needs. For the avoidance of doubt, NHS England will only pay for actual numbers of learners.
