• When will vouchers be allocated and how will they be used?

• Consulting Kit vouchers are non-competitive grants, i.e. funds will be allocated as and when they are applied for and approved.

  Beneficiaries will pay for the digitalisation solutions that they purchase by transferring, either partially or totally, the right to collect the subsidy to the Affiliated Digitalising Agents.

  This means that the Programme will pay the Digitalising Agent for the grants once a receipt for the operation has been received and approved.

  If there is any discrepancy between the cost of the solution purchased and the amount of the subsidy awarded, the beneficiary will be able to pay the difference directly to the Digitalising Agent.

  The deadline for finalising Agreements for the Supply of Digitalisation Solutions by both parties will be six months from the notification of the decision to award the grant, unless the invitation to apply sets a different time frame.

FAQs for digitalising agents

• What is a digitalising agent and how can I take part?

• Digitalising agents are companies that will provide the technological solutions and services that SMEs and self-employed beneficiaries of the Consulting Kit programme need to digitalise their businesses.

  In other words, taking part as a digitalising agent enables you, as a digitalising agent, to sign partnership agreements with the beneficiaries of the grants and support them with their digital transformation processes, implementing the technological solutions they require within their company. These technological solutions must be included in one of the digital solutions categories of the programme.

  If you want to take part in the Consulting Kit programme as a digital solutions vendor, you can now apply to join the programme as a Digitalising Agent through the Red.es website, where you can select which types of digital solutions you can offer from those already listed in the catalogue.
