Annual Report in Summary:Forecast Costs
Forecast cost of User Pays service provision 2009/2010 - £3.02 million 2010/2011 - £2.79 million
Costs have been able to be reduced by £230,000 due to increased efficiencies
This represents a 10% reduction in real terms

Annual Report in Summary:Updated Demand Forecast for User Pays Services
Review of demand forecast took into account Actual use to date Updated customer forecasts For ad-hoc services historical data was used to create a trend
Results IAD demand is 21,000 accounts Telephone services are broadly similar to the previous year Email reporting usage continues to decline USRV resolution is lower than originally anticipated
Demand forecast table updated with new demand volumes, published as Appendix 2 of the ACS and included in the Review Report
![Page 10: User Pays User Committee 16th February 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813120550346895d978daa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

ACS Prices
Prices continue to be set in accordance with the charging methodology set out in the approved ACS
Prices are a direct relationship between the cost of providing the service and demand plus a margin (6% as agreed by Ofgem)
There are price changes in the 2010/11 ACS Overall the majority of customers will see their monthly User
Pays invoice fall (based on December 09 demand levels)
![Page 11: User Pays User Committee 16th February 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813120550346895d978daa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

ACS Prices – IAD and Telephone
IAD Proposed monthly charge £6.25 per account Reduction against the annual average charge this year of £7.93 The reduction has been achieved through a combination of increased
efficiencies, insourcing helpdesk activities and increased demand
Telephone Enquiries The proposal is to increase prices for all the telephone bands This is reflective of an increase in associated costs (both people and
system support), however these have been kept to a minimum For example; Band B (the most popular band) will increase to £2,520
or £2.52 per call

ACS Prices – Email Reporting and SARs
Email Reporting There has been a continuing decrease in demand for this service
which has resulted in the unit price increasing The new price for the report for less than 1,000 MPRNs is £218 The new price for the report for greater than 1,000 MPRNs is £321
Shipper Agreed Reads (SARs) Customer demand has shifted away from email and facsimile to the
electronic U01 file U01 file prices remain at 2009/10 level Email and facsimile new prices are £2 and £7 respectively

USRV Resolution (MOD 192 service) The new price is £53 for a desk top resolution The new price is between £99 and £105 for a desk top and site visit
