Conditions7

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Application restriction
This is a non-competitive call for the designated Województwo Wielkopolskie / Regionalny Ośrodek Polityki Społecznej project “Rozwój Wielkopolskiej Sieci Centrów Usług Społecznych” — III edition, not a generally open competition for individual staff or municipalities. The project registration describes 24 municipalities across three editions, including eight in edition III.
Eligible project scope
The designated project expands access to local-community social services through creating or developing CUS centres. The registration describes edition III as eight municipality partners, each assigned four new locally delivered social services based on local diagnosis and consistent with the statutory CUS service catalogue and programme rules. This is the approved project design, not a grant for any arbitrary CUS.
Other condition
The non-competitive electronic application window ran 21 September 2026 00:00 through 20 November 2026 23:59:59 in LSI 2021+; as of 23 October 2026 it was open. A submitted form must also be signed within five days after the deadline.
Other condition
The authority may request written market research during negotiations for individual budget items: a written comparison of prices from at least three potential suppliers/service providers where at least three exist, carried out before the application. The authority decides whether individual expenditures and their amounts are eligible.
Other condition
Indirect costs support only project management/administration, use a flat rate depending on the direct-cost level under the external national eligibility guidelines, cover the full indirect-cost pool, and exclude cross-financing expenses. This call regulation does not itself state the applicable percentage; that external rate table remains to be checked.
Other condition
At least 30% of funds planned to finance services must be allocated to commissioning those services to NGOs or social-economy entities. This is a minimum share of the service-financing pool, not a 30% project-wide funding ceiling or personnel-pay rate.
Staff restriction
Under the current CUS Act, qualifying persons, assessing individual needs and preparing individual social-service plans may be performed only by the CUS and may not be entrusted to another entity. These functions must remain with the CUS; this is distinct from outsourced delivery of other social services.
Amounts and costs4
Catalogue budget
PLN 18,000,000

Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.

Call allocation
PLN 18,000,000

Public contribution for the designated project: PLN 14m EFS+ plus PLN 4m national co-financing. The regulation separately states PLN 20m total project value including PLN 2m own contribution. This is an overall project envelope, not an individual-role or per-service cap; the authority may increase the amount.

Eligible cost
The official eligible-expense catalogue includes separate categories for participant/entity support, project personnel, and external services. Project personnel includes people engaged in project tasks under an employment relationship or as volunteers under the cited law, and a natural-person business beneficiary. External services are services or other activities performed for the beneficiary by external entities commissioned to perform them. The example catalogue is open-ended but does not itself guarantee eligibility; every item is individually assessed for necessity, justification and reasonableness.
Funding intensity, maximum
90 %

The planned public support is up to 70% EU funds plus at most 20% national budget; both are measured against eligible expenditure, with at least 10% own contribution. Higher own contribution is permitted and proportionally lowers national co-financing.

Own contribution, minimum
10 %

Minimum of eligible expenditure. Applicant may contribute more, up to 30%; the source says this reduces the national co-financing amount and overall UE+BP intensity proportionally.
