Project Overview

Transactional ERDF and State Aid - or TESA - is an e-government project, led by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), which will transform the delivery of ERDF in England. It will do this through introducing a new web-based system and a set of improved and streamlined processes for managing the European fund in all programme areas.

TESA will deliver a number of benefits for all ERDF stakeholders. It will reduce paper and bureaucracy, simplify and speed up processes, and help free up people’s time to focus on managing projects and programmes through to effective closure.

TESA is being rolled out across the regions from Spring 2007, when West Midlands and North East will be the first programme areas to go-live.

Two new websites - www.erdf.communities.gov.uk, and www.stateaid.communities.gov.uk - have also been developed as part of the TESA programme and went live in July 2005.

For further details of the objectives, scope, approach and timescales for TESA, together with TESA Factsheets and FAQs, please visit 'The Project' section of this website.

Purpose of this Site

The purpose of this site is to:

• explain what TESA is and why it is happening
• communicate news on the programme
• provide a feedback channel for all stakeholders.

For further information about the project or this website please contact Victoria Norman at victoria.norman@communities.gsi.gov.uk or tesa@communities.gsi.gov.uk.
