ESIF Applications - Development and Delivery of Legal Masterclasses

Tender description

The aim of this project is to commission an experienced provider to develop appropriate material and deliver four Legal Masterclasses, covering key aspects of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) application process, highlighting the areas that prospective applicants need to be aware of in formulating their projects and bids. The material presented should focus on the legal aspects most relevant to the ESIF process, specifically including the areas of State Aid and procurement, but also cover other relevant areas of the ESIF application forms/processes and the Managing Authorities' Grant Funding Agreements for European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) and European Social Funds (ESF) applications. Each Masterclass will take place across a whole morning lasting approximately 3-3.5 hours and will be held in four separate locations/venues across Cornwall in each of the following areas: • Penzance • Truro • St Austell • Launceston. The audience for the Masterclasses is likely to consist of businesses, public sector bodies and VCSE organisations, who may be interested in applying for ESIF funding to support eligible projects.
