<p>A total of £37.15m was paid to CRCs above their agreed contracts in 2016/17. These
payments were made for a variety of reasons and cannot be broken down by CRC because
the information is commercially sensitive. Furthermore, some concessions were agreed
with CRCs on a case-by-case basis to enable them to re-invest contractual payment
deductions in key areas of the business and improve services.</p><p>In addition, we
have made changes to how CRCs are paid for future years so they can focus on activities
that best rehabilitate offenders and keep society safe. This additional investment
will see projected payments to providers being no higher than originally budgeted
for at the time of the reforms. A summary of the variations can be found below. Relevant
