2. Adjustment of amounts

The amount of unit cost 1. is based partly on a standard scale of unit cost funded entirely by France. Out of the 6 400  EUR, 1 600  EUR correspond to the standard scale of unit cost set out by the ‘instruction ministérielle du 11 octobre 2013 relative à l’expérimentation Garantie Jeunes prise pour l’application du décret 2013-80 du 1er octobre 2013 ainsi que par l’instruction ministérielle du 20 mars 2014 ’ to cover the costs borne by the Youth Public Employment Services ‘Missions Locales’ to coach each NEET entering the ‘Garantie Jeunes’.

Unit cost 1. shall be updated by the Member State in line with adjustments under national rules to the standard scale of unit cost of 1 600  EUR mentioned in paragraph 1 above that covers the costs borne by the Youth Public Employment Services.

The amount of unit costs 2. and 3. are based on publicly procured prices for training hours in the respective fields and geographical areas. These amounts will be adjusted when the procurement process for the underlying training courses is repeated according to the following formula:

New price (excl. VAT) = Old price (excl. VAT) × (0,5 + 0,5 × Sr/So)

Sr is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1 567 446 ) of the last monthly publication at the date of the adjustment

So is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1 567 446 ) of the monthly publication at the date of submission of the tender for the first adjustment then, for the following adjustments, of the monthly publication of the anniversary date of submission of the tender

The amounts of the unit costs 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 may be adjusted based on the Reunion inflation rate (INSEE index) – reference year 2017 for unit costs 4,5 and 7; reference year 2018 for unit costs 8 and 9.

The amounts for unit costs 6 may be adjusted according to the price review mechanism in the event of a renewal of the tender of the Reunion Region. The amounts of the scales are updated annually, as of 1 January N on the basis of the latest index known, according to the following formula:

The intermediate calculations will be carried out with four decimal places, the scale comprising two decimals and the coefficient applicable to rounded P0, if any at the top thousandth.

The selected BSCU scale is the value of 2017. The reference year is therefore 2017 as a starting point for indexing.

Indexing applies to courses that started in year N.

2. Adjustment of amounts

Unit cost 1 may be adjusted by replacing the initial minimum wage and/or the statutory bonus and/or weekly allowances and/or social security contributions in the calculation method that consists of the lowest weekly rate of national minimum wage for a particular year, the statutory bonus, weekly allowances and social security contributions, and dividing this result by 2.

Unit Cost 2 may be adjusted by applying the annual rate of inflation to the respective rates. From 2017, for a given year N, this can be done by applying the inflation rate for year N-1 as published by the Maltese National Statistics Office at: https://nso.gov.mt/en/nso/Selected_Indicators/Retail_Price_Index/Pages/Index-of-Inflation.aspx

Unit costs 3-4 may be adjusted by replacing the initial national minimum wage for persons 18 years or over and/or the statutory bonuses and/or weekly allowances and/or social security contributions in the calculation method that consists of the hourly rate of national minimum wage for persons 18 years or over for a particular year, the statutory bonuses, the weekly allowances and social security contributions.

Adjustments will be based on updated data as follows:

— The national minimum wage is specified in national Subsidiary Legislation 452.71 (National Minimum Wage Standing Order).

— The statutory bonuses, weekly allowances and social security contributions provided for in Chapter 452 of the Maltese legislation on the Employment and Industrial relations Act.

Unit costs 5-9 may be adjusted in line with the cost of inflation at a national level for the relevant year the particular intervention is being undertaken. The annual rates of inflation are published by the National Statistics Office and can be found at: https://nso.gov.mt/en/nso/Selected_Indicators/Retail_Price_Index/Pages/Index-of-Inflation.aspx.’

Unit cost 10 will be adjusted in line with inflation according to the country in which the course is being undertaken. For courses awarded by a body that is not based in Malta and for joint study programmes an average of the rates of inflation applicable at the time will be applied.
