<p>a) In life contractual reporting is required from all suppliers during build. This
includes quarterly financial reporting on all spend to deliver the contract, including
supplier contribution. Each payment request from the supplier must include supporting
evidence that the costs are genuine and comply with the contractual definition of
qualifying expenditure before payment can be made.</p><p>Once build has completed
and been signed off by the contracting authority, all of the costs declared over the
life of the build, including those funded by the supplier, are reviewed and compared
to the contract baseline to confirm their eligibility against the contract. At this
point, the final supplier contribution is established and agreed.</p><p> </p><p>b)
Suppliers are required to periodically report on actual take-up against forecast,
and therefore any associated take-up clawback, during the build and for a defined
period after build has complete.</p>
