The ESFA has announced that for providers funded through a contract for service for adult education budget (AEB) and advanced learner loans bursary (ALLB), they will remove the financial year controls set out in the funding and performance management rules for 2019 to 2020. This means they will pay any over delivery in the August 2019 to March 2020 period by utilising the April 2020 to August 2020 period funding, up to the full 12 month contract value. The commitment to fund delivery up to 103% of adult skills and 110% of traineeships contract values will still apply over the full funding year.
