How Supporting People Programme payments are made
Updated: 23 May 2012

We make payments to Supporting People providers in line with funding agreements. There are two main types of funding agreement; block gross (short term) and block subsidy (long term). Block gross schemes provide support for less than 2 years and block subsidy schemes provide support for over 2 years.

Supporting People funding agreement payments 2011/2012
The SP budget for 2011/12 has been baselined by the Government at the current level i.e. £64 million. This current financial position means that the Housing Executive is unable to offer service providers an inflationary uplift. As a result, payments in 2011/12 will remain at the same levels as 2010/11. Each provider has been notified in writing of this position.
Updating client subsidy information
Spocc.net users can submit requests for updating of client information through SPOCC.net. There is no need for SPOCC.net users to complete the Price Reconciliation Return.
Accessing SPOCC reports
SPOCC.net users can access and generate SPOCC reports. Subsidy payment schedules will no longer be available to SPOCC.net providers.
Contract documentation
Contract documentation issued to providers will be available through SPOCC.net for provider's signature.
