Eportfolio eligible funding

Hi Andrew,

I'd be interested to know if you've found an answer on this at all as I've had a similar query recently too.

I'm not sure if I'm misinterpreting the funding rules or not because it doesn't seem to state specifically although there are a couple of rules that are difficult to tell if an e-portfolio system would be included in them either way.

Common sense would suggest they are eligible costs if they are supporting the administration of the programme, but I know funding rules aren't always that simple & I may be missing something.

Hello Nothing at present so if anyone has more details it will help

Would your account manager at Bud know do you think? Is it worth asking them; I bet you're not the only one that's asking that question.

I'm surprised there's not more on this forum around this.

Bud is your MI System, so it is an eligible cost:  P104.5 Programme governance, management and administration:

P104.5 The costs of collecting and reporting employer co-investment and the costs of using an apprenticeship software system to return 
management information (e.g., salary and on-costs of management information staff and the software licenses to operate the MI system).
