The Commission has continued its regulatory oversight since publishing the report. It has seen no evidence to date that the eventual failure of the project was as a result of failings or omissions on the part of the trustees of the Garden Bridge Trust, but is reviewing the final financial statements now available as part of its ongoing regulatory assessment<\/p>
The Commission has continued to hold the Trust to account as necessary, such as when it was late in filing its accounts.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Commission has confirmed that it expects the Trust to publishing a full statement of total project costs. Once the Commission has received those documents and, following analysis, it is comfortable that there are no further regulatory concerns, the charity will move to wind up. <\/strong><\/p>"}

NCS Trust has regular checkpoints planned with its Delivery Partners to discuss their forecast performance in 2019 and make adjustments to the number of places commissioned where appropriate, in order to minimise spend on unfilled places<\/p>
For provider contracts that begin in 2020, NCS Trust has re-designed the way its outsourced regional Management Partners will be paid, in order to significantly reduce the amount spent on places which are not filled.
In areas where NCS Trust will be providing the regional management function itself, flexibility has been created within its contracts with Delivery Partners to confirm participant numbers for each season at a later point in the year. This will allow NCS Trust to make an assessment of the level of demand for NCS places, based on the number of young people who have signed up, ensuring an accurate number are commissioned. The aim of this approach is to use performance data in-season to better align the supply and demand for NCS places, minimising the number which are paid for but not filled.<\/p>

Some NCS Delivery Partners are not responsible for managing the recruitment of young people to their programmes. These Delivery Partners are generally small, local non-profit organisations, so in order to protect them from undue financial risk, once the number of places being commissioned is confirmed by NCS Trust, payment for these places will be guaranteed.<\/p>
For provider contracts that begin in 2020, NCS Trust has re-designed the way its Management Partners will be paid, in order to significantly reduce the amount spent on places which are not filled.<\/p>
<\/p>
Delivery Partners managing their own recruitment are guaranteed payment for a proportion of their NCS commissioned places. This gives smaller, local organisations the financial security they need to get involved in NCS. The remaining places will only be paid for if they are filled. NCS Trust will only pay for unfilled places in a situation where a Delivery Partner does not recruit enough young people to cover the proportion of places that has been guaranteed. This allows NCS Trust to share risk with the youth and voluntary sector, so that small organisations can benefit from being part of the delivery chain.<\/p>"}
