    Read the regulatory terms and conditions of the DIGITAL KIT Programme.

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

  • Digital 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.


DIGITALISING AGENT

  • 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 Digital 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 Digital 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 solution you can offer from those already listed.

  • What are the requirements to apply to join the programme as a digitalising agent?

    • A total turnover of at least €100,000 in the two years prior to applying to become part of the programme, or €50,000 in the previous year, in similar projects in any of the categories of digitalisation solutions. For the self-employed without employees, total turnover must be at least €70,000 in the two previous years, or €35,000 in the previous year.
    • Be up to date with tax and Social Security obligations
    • Not be considered a company in difficulty.
    • Provide information, if required, about the contracted companies, if any, which will provide each of the digitalisation solutions, as well as any employment generated.
    • Mention, in communications, publications, web pages or similar created in order to publicise your status as an agent listed as a provider of Digitalisation Solutions for the Programme, that the grants are financed by funds from the Spanish Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed by the NextGenerationEU plan.
    • Affiliated Digitalising Agents with more than 1,000 employees or who have an annual turnover of more than 100 million euros, must provide their services throughout Spain, through their own sales network or through contracted third parties. In these cases, Affiliated Digitalising Agents must carry out, via the companies they hire, at least 50% of the business volume obtained as a result of the Digitalisation Service Provision Agreements signed.
