Each supplier utilised some 25-30 assessors in total through the period, reducing or increasing levels according to the progress they were making against the deadline for assessing bids. In addition 9 other EFA staff worked on the Condition Improvement Fund throughout the 2016-17 programme on matters like processing applications and managing assessors.</p><p> </p><p>The resource approach to previous bidding rounds has been similarly based on the volume of applications received.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 15/09/2016 17:03:16 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson previous answer version 11068 answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
