We would normally expect you to use this figure in the bid and contract negotiations. However, if you feel it is unrealistic (eg for agreed / likely salary increases) then you can use your own judgement. If you use a higher figure it is worth making the point that should it turn out to be an over-estimation the difference could be ploughed back into the centre. > >Regards >Ian > > >------------------------------------------------------------- >Ian Dwyer >Global Change Coordinator >Natural Environment Research Council >Polaris House >North Star Avenue >Swindon SN2 1EU >Tel: 01793 411511 >Fax: 01793 411584 >email: i.dwyer@nerc.ac.uk > > >
