Based on the current participation levels in GLAS 1 and 2, the average annual contract value, excluding GLAS+ is €4,200. The average annual contract value will increase when GLAS+ payments are processed and the processing of GLAS 3 contracts to payment may also impact on the average payment. It is only when the 2017 payment processing is complete that the actual average annual contract value for over 50,000 participants will be available.
