How much does it cost?
If your Local Authority uses the SPOCC SP management
system then there is no additional charge for SP-Bench, only a small hosting fee paid from your support contract.
For LAs that do not have SPOCC, there is a charge based
on the size of your SP admin grant:
- Small: £1,100 p.a.
- Medium: £1,650 p.a.
- Large: £2,200 p.a.
The charge includes the annual costs of bandwidth, hosting and support of SP-Bench on our secure web servers
in the Docklands.
