submission of erdf grant claim forms
changes to procedures

Following an internal reorganisation within the Programme Executive, there will be changes in procedure to the submission of sponsor's ERDF Grant Claims.

Rob Gompertz and Karen Crooks have been responsible for Priority 1 and Priority 3 claims respectively, and between them have recently been handling the claims relating to Priority 2 projects.

Within their new roles as Development Officers, Rob and Karen will now be handling the claims based on geographical location. Detailed below are the areas that each Development Officer will be responsible for:

LEC Area	Local Authority	Development Officer
Edinburgh and Lothians (excl. Craigmillar)	Edinburgh City Council East Lothian Council Midlothian Council West Lothian Council	Rob Gompertz
Edinburgh and Lothians (Craigmillar only)	Edinburgh City Council - Craigmillar only	Karen Crooks
Fife	Fife Council	Karen Crooks
Forth Valley	Clackmannanshire Council Falkirk Council Stirling Council	Rob Gompertz
Grampian	Aberdeenshire Council The Moray Council	Rob Gompertz
Tayside	Angus Council Dundee City Council Perth & Kinross Council	Karen Crooks
East of Scotland	Projects covering all Local Authority Areas	Karen Crooks

Through this arrangement, our aim is to provide sponsors with a more consistent approach and, consequently, a more efficient service in the processing of ERDF Grant Claims.

Designated Finance Officers for each ERDF Approved Project will be contacted individually regarding the changes. However, if you have any queries regarding the changes in the submission of your ERDF Grant Claims, please contact:

Rob Gompertz by e-mail to [email protected], or
Karen Crooks by e-mail to [email protected].
