The attached document provides essential guidance for Partner Services regarding the August Review and Confirm process for the 2025/2026 Core Funding programme year, including eligibility, what is required prior to completing, details the implications of submission timelines on payments, and outlines the Base Rate capping rules. 

It also provides information around the pending ERO for the Staff Funding Additional Contribution and the recently uploaded Core Funding Staffed Capacity – Frequently Asked Questions which provides further support for services in submitting their application record.
