What an EU project contractor does

The contractor is the company that delivers the assets or services funded by the project. For software projects, that means building and deploying the system described in the project proposal within the project's timeline.

Astra Solutions is the AstraCore unit that works as a software contractor on EU-funded projects — from the technical specification to acceptance of the system and the reporting documents.

Current procedures that fund software

Software is an eligible intangible-asset cost under the following procedures of the Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises Programme 2021–2027:

Whether a specific cost is eligible depends on the procedure's conditions and on how the software supports the project's objective.

Questions about EU project contractors

How does the beneficiary choose a contractor?

Through a public-invitation selection procedure under Council of Ministers Decree No. 4 of 11.01.2024, run in ISUN. Contractors submit offers using the prescribed template and the beneficiary evaluates them against the published methodology.

Can CRM or ERP software be funded by an EU programme?

Yes, when the software is part of the eligible investment. Under “Introducing Green Technologies in SMEs” and “Innovation in SMEs (LAG)”, software is among the eligible intangible-asset costs.

How large is the grant?

It depends on the procedure: up to 70% under “Green Technologies in SMEs” (€77,000 to €450,000) and up to 75% under “Innovation in SMEs (LAG)” (€15,000 to €102,500). The rest is the company's own contribution.

Which documents do you provide for reporting?

The contract, acceptance protocols, invoices with the required details, technical documentation and evidence that the system has been deployed.
