4. Latest ERDF news - applications Overall, good progress is being made on application levels from the first two rounds of calls - 45% (£1.2bn) of the total ERDF Programme allocation has been applied for. Priorities 1 (Innovation), 2 (ICT) and 3 (SME Competitiveness) account for 65% of the total Programme’s allocation. The first funding agreements were signed in December. Full applications from July calls received by end of April 2016 and govt expects 60-70% of the outline applications to progress to this stage. The closure of the Business Growth Service by end March 2016 and the possible withdrawal of these applications could reduce Priority 3 Momentum on Priority 4 (Low Carbon) has improved though it remains an area of focus and there is planned activity for early 2016 to improve this.

6. Low carbon ERDF “Of the total ERDF applied for from July, 24% (£136m) came from Priority 4 applications compared with 13% (£119m) of ERDF applied for in March. However, some caution is needed on the Priority 4 figures as due to the technical nature of this priority, we anticipate a higher degree of attrition through the application process. In response we are developing specific guidance to help Priority 4 applicants develop more robust applications and are planning a series of workshops to communicate this and the Priority 4 opportunities.”
