SABP and Public Health did not require any Service Provider to try and reduce the financial envelope. The financial envelopes are as stated below:
• Main Sub-contract - £456,988 per annum (for 3 Years with the option to extend for 2 periods of 12 months each)
• Family Safeguarding -£378,000 per annum (maximum funding envelope) for one (1) year on a pay as you go basis based on actual posts/staff recruited in-month and up to 10.00% overhead.
