<p>Each CIF application was assessed twice independently. 9 EFA technical assessors
worked on the assessment of CIF bids between January and February 2016 (alongside
other duties). The EFA also contracted 2 external technical assessor suppliers to
assess CIF applications. These suppliers assessed CIF bids between January and February
2016. 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>
