The targeted plan or strategy must be officially approved and will need to be formally adopted by the full-proposal submission deadline for the SIP.

Activities that can be funded

TA-PP-ENV-SIP projects must focus on preparation and submission of a SIP concept note and full SIP proposal to the LIFE strategic SIP call (two-stage) within the lifetime of the TA-PP. Eligible activities include recruitment and training of new personnel to prepare the SIP, contracting external assistance for concept note and full proposal development, data collection for SIP preparation (including mapping of funding sources and complementary measures), development of financing plans where not already included in the plan, stakeholder mapping and engagement, networking and coordination among implementing authorities and funders, preparation and submission of SIP concept note and full proposal, and activities to build coordination mechanisms for complementary funding.

Expected results and impact

Expected output:a high-quality, eligible full SIP proposal submitted to the LIFE SIP call under the Circular Economy and Quality of Life subprogramme before the TA-PP end date. Expected impact: acceleration of large-scale implementation of the targeted plan/strategy by producing a coordinated SIP that mobilises at least one other EU, national or private funding source and includes mechanisms to coordinate complementary measures across territories and stakeholders.

Budget and funding conditions

Call-level indicative budget year 2026:overall TA-PP call budget €1,000,000 split across topics. Topic-specific indicative contribution for ENV-SIP: €300,000. Maximum individual grant amounts: indicative ceiling per awarded TA-PP project for ENV-SIP topic: €70,000 maximum EU contribution per project as indicated in the call fiche table of topic budgets and maximum contribution per expected grant. Funding rate: 60% of eligible costs. Projects duration: up to 24 months (expected). The grant form is a budget-based mixed actual cost grant (actual cost reimbursement with possible unit cost and flat-rate elements where applicable). Indirect costs: flat-rate 7% of eligible direct costs (categories A-D excluding volunteers and any excluded categories).

Budget categories and key cost rules:Eligible budget categories include A Personnel (A.1 employees, A.2 natural persons under direct contract, A.3 seconded persons, A.4 SME owners/natural person beneficiaries unit cost, A.5 volunteers if explicitly allowed in a call), B Subcontracting, C Purchase costs (C.1 travel and subsistence actual costs, C.2 equipment depreciation or full cost where specified, C.3 other goods works and services), D Other costs (including financial support to third parties only if allowed and subject to strict rules), and E Indirect costs (flat-rate). VAT: non-deductible VAT is eligible subject to general restrictions; deductible VAT is not eligible. Land purchase, infrastructure purchase and financial support to third parties are not allowed for the ENV-SIP TA-PP unless explicitly authorised in the call; for ENV-SIP the call text specifies that financial support to third parties is not allowed. Equipment is normally depreciated; renting/lease costs eligible if not exceeding depreciation of similar equipment. Personnel cost reporting uses day-equivalents (215 day rule) and standard approaches per LIFE templates.

Eligibility of applicants

Eligible applicants:legal entities (public or private bodies) established in eligible countries. Coordinator must be established in an eligible country. Natural persons are not eligible (except self-employed sole traders where legal person does not exist). Eligible countries: EU Member States (including OCTs), EEA countries and third countries associated to the LIFE programme. Entities from other third countries may exceptionally participate if essential for the action and necessary to achieve objectives. International organisations are eligible. EU bodies (except Joint Research Centre as noted by calls) are generally not eligible as beneficiaries. Applicants must be registered in the Participant Register (PIC) and validated (legal entity validation, LEAR appointment).

1. 1Eligible applicant types include: public authorities (national/regional/local), municipalities, public agencies, research organisations and universities, NGOs and non-profit organisations, private companies (SMEs and larger enterprises), international organisations, and affiliated entities linked to eligible beneficiaries.
2. 2Natural persons are not eligible except for specific self-employed sole traders or SME owners where unit costs apply and only where allowed in the call.
3. 3Coordinator: preferably the authority responsible for implementing the targeted plan/strategy, or in justified cases may be another body with a mandate and the responsible authority as a project partner.

Consortium requirement and roles

Consortium composition:TA-PP projects are designed to support the authority responsible for the plan/strategy. The authority responsible should in principle participate and preferably act as coordinator. The call allows single-coordinator TA-PP projects and multiple beneficiaries where appropriate. Partners can include beneficiaries, affiliated entities, associated partners (no EU funding), subcontractors and third parties providing in-kind contributions. Affiliated entities participate with rights and obligations like beneficiaries and their costs are covered. Subcontracting must be exceptional, justified and awarded under best-value procurement rules; subcontracting above a typical threshold should be justified in the proposal. Financial support to third parties is not allowed for ENV TA-PP (explicit statement in call).

Geographic eligibility and target territories

Project activities must be carried out principally in eligible countries. The ENV-SIP TA-PP targets large territorial scale interventions (regional, multi-regional, national or transnational) implementing national or regional plans and strategies. Activities outside eligible countries are allowed only when necessary for the effectiveness of interventions carried out within eligible countries (e.g., transboundary river basins, migratory species wintering grounds or complementary actions in non-eligible countries).

Project maturity and stage

Project stage expected:project maturity should be at the planning/development stage aiming to prepare a full SIP proposal. TA-PP funds preparation activities, documentation, stakeholder engagement, financing planning and other preparatory work. The TA-PP leads to submission of a full SIP to the dedicated strategic SIP LIFE call within the TA-PP project lifetime.

Application process, forms and templates

Application is single-stage via the Funding & Tenders Portal Electronic Submission System. Applicants must use the Application Form (Part A online and Part B technical description PDF uploaded). Templates available in the Submission System include the standard LIFE TA-PP application form (LIFE TA PP), the Detailed Budget Table (Excel Resources sheet), Participant Information form, and Annexes. Part B (technical description) is limited to a maximum of 30 pages for this call (Part B page limits are specified in the call). Required annexes to upload include the detailed budget table, participant information, letters of support (optional) and other annexes if requested. The Application Form structure includes: Project summary; Relevance (background, objectives, methodologies); Impact (quantified where possible); Implementation (work packages, milestones, deliverables, timelines); Stakeholder engagement; Communication and dissemination; Resources (consortium description, key staff); Budget justification and risk management; Complementary funding plan; Declarations and Annexes.

Application templates and structure:Use the Submission System templates: Part A administrative forms (online), Part B technical description PDF titled LIFE SIP and SNAP template (contains cover page, project summary, sections 1-7 and annex lists), Detailed Budget Table Excel with sheets for personnel effort allocation, personnel cost breakdown, subcontracting and other direct costs. Participant information Word template must be completed for each beneficiary. Do not modify templates or remove instructions. Part B is subject to strict formatting rules (font, margins, page limit).

Evaluation, award criteria and timeline

Single-stage one-step evaluation by an evaluation committee. After admissibility and eligibility checks, proposals are evaluated against three award criteria with equal weighting: Relevance (0-20 points), Quality (0-20 points) and Resources (0-20 points). Individual thresholds per criterion: minimum 10 points. Overall threshold: 35/60. Max total: 60 points. Ranking and tie-break rules: ex aequo proposals are prioritised by scores for Relevance, then Quality, then Resources. Indicative evaluation timetable: evaluation results December 2026; grant agreements signed February/March 2027.

1. 1Award criteria and focus: 1) Relevance: alignment with LIFE subprogramme objectives and call topic; intervention logic and methodology; 2) Quality: feasibility and clarity of work plan, appropriate geographic focus, stakeholder mobilisation; 3) Resources: team composition, management structure, budget appropriateness, transparency and value for money, consideration and mitigation of environmental footprint.

Legal, financial checks and post-selection steps

After positive evaluation, grants enter grant preparation. Legal entity validation (LEA/LEAR), financial capacity checks and exclusion checks will be carried out. Grant signature may require prefinancing guarantees where financial capacity is insufficient or if requested. Prefinancing is typically paid within 30 days after entry into force/receipt of financial guarantee. Payments and reporting: no interim payments; periodic reporting and final payment schedule defined in the Model Grant Agreement; final grant amount calculated at project end and recoveries applied where appropriate.

Success rates and competition

Success rates vary by topic and number of high-quality proposals received. The call documents indicate an indicative number of grants and budgets per topic but the granting authority reserves the right not to award all funds. No explicit historical success rate is provided in the call; applicants should assume competitive selection and robust thresholds (minimum 35/60).

Co-funding and no-profit rule

Co-funding:applicants must provide the non-EU contribution (40% of eligible costs) either from own resources, third-party contributions or confirmed complementary funding. The LIFE no-profit rule applies: grants must not produce a profit (revenues generated by the project must be declared and any profit deducted from the final grant).

Application stages and number of steps

This call is single-stage (one full proposal) for TA-PP. The subsequent SIP submission that the TA-PP prepares is part of a two-stage LIFE SIP selection process (concept note stage 1 then full SIP proposal stage 2) administered under the separate strategic SIP LIFE call (expected in 2027). So while the TA-PP application has one stage, the intended SIP submission will follow the separate two-stage SIP call.

Success rate estimate and competition context

The call document indicates limited envelope per topic (ENV-SIP €300,000) and maximum EU contribution per awarded project of €70,000. Because funding is limited and award thresholds are strict, applicants should expect low to moderate success rates and strong competition. The granting authority reserves the right to reallocate unused budget across topics.

Eligibility checks, exclusions and capacity requirements

Admissibility and eligibility checks include page limits, correct templates, eligibility of participants (countries and legal status), and compliance with call conditions. Financial capacity checks will be performed for coordinators (except public bodies or if requested grant ≤ €60,000). Operational capacity is assessed during evaluation under 'Resources' and must demonstrate relevant experience, staff qualifications, and organisational capacity to deliver. Exclusion grounds include bankruptcy, grave professional misconduct, fraud, corruption, sanctions, EU conditionality issues and other legal exclusions per EU Financial Regulation.

Templates and application form structure

Applicants must use the official forms from the Portal Submission System. Part A (administrative) is filled online. Part B (technical) uses the LIFE SIP & SNAP template (cover page, project summary, sections 1-7 detailed in the template). Mandatory annexes: Detailed Budget Table (Excel resources sheets), Participant Information, any letters of support, and other requested annexes. Part B content includes: Project summary; Relevance (background, objectives, compliance with LIFE); Impact (quantified impacts where possible); Implementation (work packages, tasks, milestones, deliverables, timetable); Stakeholder engagement; Monitoring and evaluation; Communication and dissemination; Resources (consortium, management, green management); Budget justification and risk assessment; Complementary funding plan; Ethics/security declarations. Part B page limits apply and excess pages will be disregarded.

1. 1Application must include a clear complementary funding plan identifying complementary measures and their funding sources necessary to achieve full implementation of the targeted plan/strategy.
2. 2Mandatory deliverables in TA-PP projects typically include a project page on the beneficiary’s website, a capacity building plan, an After-LIFE Plan and reporting of LIFE KPI webtool extracts at month 9, mid-term and project end (as described in the template).
3. 3Proposals must be uploaded in the correct Submission System slots; incorrect uploads may render a proposal inadmissible.

Key risks and evaluation focus areas

Evaluators will assess clarity and realism of the work plan, the geographic focus and appropriateness to the targeted plan, involvement and mandate of the competent authority for the plan/strategy, quality of stakeholder engagement, the consortium’s capacity and key staff profiles, budget realism and transparency, value for money, and the plan for coordinating complementary funding sources. Important risks include ineligibility of the targeted plan (must be an eligible, formally approved plan), failure to secure the coordinating authority’s participation, insufficient evidence of stakeholder buy-in, inadequate complementary funding mapping and poor delivery capacity evidenced by weak staffing or past performance.
