17.7LAC in Advance Activities include developing an Initial Plan 4 weeks in Advance of Phasing Date for approval of NDIA at Phasing Date. This involves extensive and intensive Activities by the proposed LAC workforce which do not appear to be funded appropriately or relevantly for each Quarter. Is this correct?
Refer to section 3.1.1 of Annex D to the Statement of Requirements. The Partner must, on a rolling basis from six months in advance of a prospective Participant's Phasing Date (except if the Grant Agreement commences on a date that is less than six months in advance of the Phasing Date, in which case from commencement of the Grant Agreement), provide support to prospective Participants to engage with the Scheme.
The amount of funding identified for each Service Area has considered the LAC Services and ECEI Services required in that Service Area.
