Updated 29 February 2024

Date issued: 05 July 2022

Review date: 05 July 2023

1. Who should read

All ESF Beneficiary Organisations, the Greater London Authority and the ESF Managing Authority

2. Purpose

This action note is to notify CFOs and Grant Recipients that revised ESF Claims Guidance has been published on GOV.UK

3. Background

The ESF Managing Authority has revised the ESF Claims Guidance for Grant Recipients and ESF Claims Guidance for Co-Financing Organisation to reflect changes to the section on Procurement.

4. Action

This guidance should be used from the date of publication for new ESF claims not yet submitted to the ESF Managing Authority.

Where a financial claim has already been submitted by a beneficiary under the previous claims guidance, unless requested otherwise by the ESF Contract Manager, there is no requirement for the beneficiary to re-work or re-submit that claim in order to meet the revised guidance changes.

5. Contact

If a beneficiary organisation has any concerns about adherence with the new and revised ESF Claims guidance, they should raise this with their ESF Contract Manager.
