Overview
The provision will be offered through four separate Lots of activity at Investment Priority (IP) and LEP level. We intend to enter in to four Lots with single Contracts for; North East (More Developed), The Marches (More Developed), Greater Lincolnshire, The Marches (Transitional), a single Contract for each of the Lots with the Applicants who submit the most economically advantageous tenders for each Lot.
The precise value and scope of the Lots is still to be agreed with individual Local Enterprise Partnerships and their ESIF Committees and therefore the estimated value is based upon expressions of interest from LEPs and could be subject to change. Additional information: The ESF is part of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) Growth Programme for England in 2014 to 2020.
The European Commission (EC) owns these programmes and sets the Europe-wide ESF Programme requirements. The EC governs this Programme through its rules and regulations.
