Decision details

Delegated authority has been granted to the Combined Authority’s Chief Executive to take decisions on the end of year position for the Adult Education Budget (AEB) Reconciliation.

1.               To approve grant payment protection to the value of £19,628 for 1 provider following assessment of their payment protection request.

2.         To approve grant payment protection to the value of £464,507 for 7             providers based on the agreed approach to protect 10% of the core             allocation.

3.         To approve the recovery of a total of £1,245,618 from 14 providers in line with the agreed reconciliation approach and payment protection.

4.         To approve the Claw back funds of £307,590.35 from 8 non-roll forward             providers

5.         To approve Rebase future allocations from 2022/23 onwards for 7 providers             to a value of £821,499.93 which will reduce all future years allocations and             allow funding to be redistributed to those that can deliver it. This will also             protect financial stability of the provider base and avoid impacting on the             current delivery.

6.         To approve Redistribute recovered funds into the AEB allocations for the             2022/23 academic year.

7.         To approve the recovery values for 4 providers dependent on receiving their             outstanding annual certificates of expenditure.
