Please
find
attached
a
guidance
notes
from the
Skills
Funding
Agency
(December
2009)
covering
funding
allocations
for the
2010/11
academic
year.
I would
strongly
suggest
that
managers
of
provider
organisations
at least
speed
read
this.
For
those
who
don't
make
that
time, a
couple
of
points;
p.3 para
12.
'lower
investment
in lower
priority
developmental
learning'
-
sounds
rather
ominous
and an
interesting
use of
language.
p.6 para
17 is
the Fee
Income -
they
continue
to rise
p.9/10
para 26
''In
contracting
for
2010/11
we
expect
to apply
Minimum
Level
Performance
rigorously...
we will
seek to
increase
the
average
contract
size...
and over
time
reduce
the
number
of
smaller
contracts....
we will
be
mindful
of the
need to
continue
to
provide
opportunities
for
smaller
organisations,
including
Third
Sector
Organisations,
to
engage
in the
delivery
of SFA
programmes,
although
this
will not
necessarily
be
through
direct
contracts.
This may
require
a more
planned
and
structured
approach
to
sub-contracting'
Make of
that
what you
will.........
