There are many elements and requirements associated with the ERDF Programme which all projects who have received ERDF funding must consider and meet. To help with this a suite of guidance has been produced providing an overview to the key areas.

The overview guidance is available to view and download from the Related Documents.

In addition to the overview guidance, ERDF funded projects will be expected to review the full Programme guidance. A number of the main documents are available to view below:

ERDF Eligibility Rules - PDF - 77kb

ERDF Calculating Overheads Costs - PDF - 190kb

ERDF Revenue Generating Projects Guidance - PDF - 41kb

ERDF Agency Combined Grant Claim Guidance - PDF - 171kb

Additional guidance including 'Writing a ERDF Project Management Plan' and 'ERDF Project Essentials' is available on the Project Development Pack and Full Application Pack sections. 

A number of projects supported by the ERDF Programme will be delivering products which are part of Solutions for Business, the Government's package of publicly funded business support designed to help companies start and grow. More information on Solutions for Business is available here. Specific brand guidelines have been developed for Solutions for Business which projects delivering activities under this are required to follow.
