It is contrary to the funding rules to record the maximum price in TNP 1 whilst the EPA cost is unknown.
New for 1 August 2021
P104.1 - Clarification: To be clear that EPA costs must not be included in the TNP1 price on the ILR.
P228.2 You must accurately reflect the negotiated prices for training and end-point assessment onto the ILR. Where you and the employer do not know the details of the end-point assessment organisation at the start of the apprenticeship, you must enter the price for end-point assessment once this has been confirmed. This field in the ILR must be left blank until the price of the end-point assessment has been confirmed to ensure accuracy.
You must only record the agreed training cost in TNP 1 and this should align with the breakdown as required in the funding rules.
P371 The written agreement (or contract for services) between the main provider and employer must include:
P371.1 A breakdown of the total negotiated price (TNP1), associated with the delivery of training and on-programme assessment, against the headings of any of the eligible costs listed in P105 (training, consumables, assessment and administration, as a minimum). This breakdown must not include any ineligible cost and must not include the cost of end-point assessment.

Adding TNP2 after start
Created
Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with a problem.
I added a cohort of apprentices in 2019 with a total negotiated price of £27,000 each. At that time we hadn’t contracted with the EPAO and so I put the whole £27,000 for each apprentice under TNP1. We now have a contract in place and I adjusted TNP1 down to £25,900 and added TNP2 at £1,100. I thought this was the correct procedure but now I’m getting errors and payments have stopped. Can anyone tell me how I should have recorded the EPA please?
Thank you.
Nick
