An Introduction to SEP Ltd

The 2000-06 Western Scotland Objective 2 and Clyde Waterfront URBAN II Programmes are managed within a partnership context. Around 200 agencies are involved in Strathclyde European Partnership, including the Scottish Executive, local authorities, enterprise bodies, further and higher education, voluntary and community organisations and the environmental and equality agencies.

SEP Ltd is the Programme Management Executive that works on behalf of the wider partnership to implement the 2000-06 Funds Programmes in the Western Scotland region.

SEP Ltd was established as a company limited by guarantee in 1996. The members of the company are Scottish Enterprise, the 12 Councils, the five Local Enterprise Companies in the region, and the West of Scotland Colleges' Partnership on behalf of the wider partnership. The main functions of SEP Ltd are to manage all aspects of the 2000-06 European Funds implementation delegated by The Scottish Executive, as managing authority, and to serve the wider aims of the Strathclyde European Partnership. The company's financial and personnel matters are managed by a Board of Directors.

SEP Ltd itself is a European Funds project, deriving up to 50 per cent of its income from a Technical Assistance grant. The co-finance for Technical Assistance is raised by partners' contributions, through a voluntary voluntary management contribution based on the total value of ERDF and ESF grants approved. The management fee approach is flexible, equitable and transparent and is consistent with the approach in the other Programme Management Executives in Scotland.

SEP Ltd seeks to achieve high standards of customer care and responsiveness, communication and creativity are priorities. Our business plan sets out detailed proposals for the future, reinforcing the company's values, outlining key activities and committing to challenging performance standards.
