The Budget Planning Subcommittee (BPSC) is responsible for agreeing the multi-year Planning Settlement proposal and submitting it to Planning and Resource Allocation Committee (PRAC) for recommendation to Council. The group is comprised of the: Chair of PRAC; Heads of Division; chairs of the subgroups making proposals on charges and the Divisional Contribution; the Chair of the Estates Bursars Committee; and one external member of PRAC.
The Subcommittee receives submissions from the Services Subcommittee (for the Service Charge), the Estate Investment Subgroup (for the Space Charge), and the Contribution Working Group (for the Divisional Contribution), and then tensions those proposals to ensure it is affordable in the context of the University’s finances and divisional plans. The Subcommittee only meets as standard when work is underway on a new Planning Settlement.
