The new European programming period up to 2027 envisages that the Croatian public and private sectors could draw more than EUR 22 billion. Of course, nothing guarantees this will materialise — having an innovative idea and an established business is not enough; they must be translated into a documented project that forms the basis of a funding application.

Many years of experience in preparing project applications have enabled us to achieve high success rates for our clients in securing EU co-financing. Throughout the entire process — from application to project implementation — we offer a reliable turnkey service.

Project Application Preparation

Opportunities must be recognised in time. EU tender windows are limited by application deadlines, applicant eligibility criteria, and numerous other requirements — all carefully monitored by the SENSUM team of experts. Depending on the technical nature of the area, the available budget, and the expected number of proposals, the application and evaluation process may involve one or more phases.

Every call for project proposals has its own criteria and requirements. The SENSUM team of experts will take care of the entire application process for your project under the selected call.

Project Management and Administration

Project managers are typically company and department managers who, in addition to their day-to-day responsibilities, also oversee the implementation of EU projects. For this reason, support from Sensum’s experts in managing EU projects is highly sought after.

Our motto — “Everyone needs support until they can stand on their own feet” — reflects our commitment to keeping clients fully informed throughout the entire project implementation process, covering all project activities from budget planning and procurement scheduling, delegation of tasks and responsibilities among project team members, through to monitoring the implementation of project activities by supervisory bodies.

EU project administration involves comprehensive management of all data and indicators linked to the project, which are compiled into reports and submitted to the contracting authority. During project implementation, SENSUM verifies compliance of all actions, procurement of services, equipment and works, and the associated reports. We frequently communicate with the contracting authority on behalf of the client regarding changes to project activities, and assist the client in drawing down and justifying co-financed funds.

Public Procurement

All projects financed by EU or other public funds are required to carry out the procurement of works, goods, and services in accordance with the applicable regulations governing both the public and private sectors.

The Sensum public procurement team guides you through the planning of project activities — from the procurement plan, preparation and publication of Procurement Documentation for both simple and complex procedures, through to contract conclusion — for both entities subject to and those exempt from public procurement obligations.

Public procurement activities often include Ex ante and Ex post reviews of all tender documentation, as well as other advisory activities related to the implementation of EU-funded project activities.
