Options

Description
While the funding envelope set by the Commissioners and Welsh Government is unknown in future years providers may be able to (pending funding) source additional resources. The Specification sets out the required outputs of the services and the Alliance Objectives. It is anticipated that the Council may require additional services from the Provider Participants throughout the duration of the Alliance Agreement that align with the Alliance Principles. Such changes will be required to account for the fluctuating demands of the service and the changing needs of the service users or changes to funding or policy decisions.
