Fees
Initial site survey - £250 plus VAT
- Prior to obtaining centre approval, one of our Quality Consultants will conduct an initial site survey to ensure you have everything in place. This fee needs to be paid prior to the visit taking place.
Initial ITC Subscription Fee - £750 plus VAT (please note this may be less as this fee is factored in to align with your annual subscription fee in August of each year)
- This fee will be charged once your initial site survey has taken place and all relevant contracts have been returned and accepted.
Please note this fee will cover your first year of subscription up until August and is charged on a pro rata basis.
For example, if a centre is approved in February, you will pay for 6 months (February, March, April, May, June and July) so the initial approval fee will be £375 + VAT.
Annual subscription fee - £750 plus VAT
- The annual subscription fee will cover your Quality Assurance visits and associated services. (This is to be received following the first August after your approval)
