Growth request
A request for additional funding where delivery is running above the allocation.
In full
Where a provider is delivering more than its allocation supports, it may be able to request additional funding. Whether growth is available, and on what terms, depends on the stream and the arrangements for the year.
Growth conversations rely on credible data, so the quality of the return that evidences the over-delivery is what makes or breaks the case.
