UKG have recently made funding available for the existing financial year, with the caveat that it must be fully allocated during the 2022/23 financial year. A new supplier would need to invest significant time developing an IT system for loan dispersal as a result it would not be possible to award and fully mobilise a new contract to allow funds to be allocated within the required timescales."
