At our 2021 Annual Event<\/a>, we announced end dates of the 2014-2020 ESIF programmes. The dates were subsequently communicated in our December e-bulletin and also published on our blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now that the closure of the 2014-20 ESIF Programmes is in sight, it is vital that we work together to maximise our payments and claims, deliver the outputs and achievements, and meet the upcoming deadlines.<\/p>\n

In terms of end date for delivery of operations, the absolute limit remains 30 September 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The financial end date is 31 December 2023<\/strong>. Expenditure must be fully defrayed by then; any defrayal after 31 December 2023 will be ineligible for grant.<\/p>\n

For Lead Partners wishing to extend operations to September 2023, the Lead Partner will be required to put forward a full justification for MAAP consideration.\u00a0Management operations can extend beyond the delivery date but must be in line with the financial end date.<\/p>\n

Please note that the latest date for final claim submission is 31 January 2024<\/strong>. There is zero flexibility<\/strong> with this date due to the tight timescale for closure of the programme.<\/p>\n

As ever, we advise that Lead Partners should discuss end dates with their Portfolio and Compliance Manager before submitting a change request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
