Further European Funding support for the Third Sector Third sector organisations seeking advice on European funding in relation to the PQQ for the Small Scale Activities programme, such as eligibility of expenditure, match funding etc, should contact WCVA's third sector European Team (3-SET) or a Spatial European Team (SET) Officer. Local Supplier Development Champions are also on hand to assist in preparing your PQQ and tender submissions and putting in place the relevant policies and procedures required by the contracting authority. Latest tendering opportunities Through the Convergence European Funding Programme the focus is on funding larger, more strategic projects which will therefore be fewer in number than those funded through the Objective One programme. This means that there are fewer direct funding opportunities for smaller, third sector organisations. However the successful larger projects are breaking down some of the components of the activity into contracts which are being advertised out through Sell2Wales. This is where the opportunities for smaller organisations will exist through this programme. Please make sure that you register with Sell2Wales - https://www.sell2wales.co.uk/ to be notified of any opportunities which may be relevant for your organisation. -------------------- PLEASE NOTE: Opportunities are posted in date order of the closing date with the earliest opportunities appearing first.
