5 8. Project objectives Is what the project aiming to achieve eligible according to the Structural Funds regulations and national rules? (Gateway Assessment) Are the project objectives SMART? Is there a logical rationale that flows from the objectives to the main activities and deliverables expected from the project? Are the end beneficiaries eligible? Is there a sufficiently defined exit strategy? If no, reject. 9. Strategic Fit Does the project contribute towards the Operational Programme Priority Axis and Thematic Objective(s) (Gateway Assessment) Does the proposal fit the call Criteria? Can the proposal be viewed as the best option (solution) Does the proposal fit with the Operational Programme? Do the proposed activities contribute to the delivery of the local ESIF strategy for growth? Does the project compliment and/or duplicate other activities already taking place in the programme area Are linkages with other initiatives and plans clearly described and evidenced? Comment on other strategic links, e.g. alignment with local growth priorities/ local ESIF strategies/ annual investment plan. Has a clear exit strategy been defined If no, recommended action 5

6 10. ESIF Cross-cutting themes 10.1 Does the proposal meet the environmental sustainability crosscutting theme requirements? Have all relevant Environmental and Sustainability theme requirements been considered and are they reflected in the design and delivery of the project? Is it easy to understand the environmental impacts associated with the project? Is there a clear explanation as to how any negative environmental impacts will be avoided or minimised and is this realistic?

7 11. Evidence to support the proposal - need for the project within the market: 11.1 ERDF only: Does the proposal address a market failure? Has the applicant clearly defined the market failure? Is it clear that additional activity/outputs/results and/or benefits will be delivered with the ESIF support compared with the reference case? 11.2 Demand for the project Has the applicant clearly identified a demand and within that, described evidence sources and projections 11.3 Proposed design Does the proposed delivery model build on evidence of best practice and what works most effectively for the target group If no, reject Comments: As the LEP has endorsed the outline, the need/demand and rationale for project investment has already been assessed. This draft template therefore excludes these sections, but provides an opportunity for the appraiser to comment on areas of concern in Part 1, ESIF Technical Assessment Recommendation. 12. Why the proposal should receive ESIF support 12.1 Has the applicant clearly demonstrated additionality provided by the proposal i.e. Has the applicant identified or taken steps to identify organisations offering similar activities?

What will happen if ESIF funding is awarded at a reduced rate? What will happen if there is a delay in awarding ESIF funding? 7

Economy: the extent to which the project will ensure that inputs to the project are at the minimum costs commensurate with the required quality? Effectiveness: the extent to which the project contributes to the ESI Fund targets in terms of ESI Fund deliverables, results and/or significant strategic impact at the local level?

Is there a clear description of all the key activities to be undertaken and any dependencies and the related key milestones by which progress of the project can be measured? If included, is the Project Gantt Chart and schedule of key milestones consistent with the application? If no, recommended action 8
