Who can apply?

The call is reserved for county capital municipalities in the South-Muntenia region. A municipality can apply alone or in partnership with UAT-uri from its functional urban area. In a partnership, the lead must be the county capital municipality.

Communes and towns in the functional urban area cannot apply on their own in this call. They can receive investment only as partners of the municipality.

Which investments can be funded?

According to the call page, urban regeneration investments are funded in four main categories:

• developing public spaces: parks, squares, green areas and leisure spaces, including necessary demolitions, Wi-Fi, public lighting and video surveillance;
• related works: replacing utility networks, pedestrian paths, cycle lanes and street improvements;
• refurbishing public buildings used for cultural and recreational activities;
• the related municipal infrastructure and the project's information and visibility measures.

The full list of eligible costs and technical conditions is in the applicant's guide of 2 July 2024, as amended by the two corrigenda.

How is the funding calculated?

The eligible value of the project must be between 500,000 € and 9 million €. The applicant bears at least 2% of the eligible value, and the non-refundable funding is at most 8,820,000 €, in the lei equivalent at the InforEuro exchange rate valid on the date the call was launched. For example, for a project with an eligible value of 5 million €, the municipality's minimum contribution is 100,000 €. Ineligible costs remain entirely the beneficiary's responsibility.

What has changed and what is the submission deadline?

The call was launched on 2 July 2024, and submission began on 9 July 2024. The guide was amended by Corrigendum No. 1 of 4 September 2025 and by Corrigendum No. 2 of 9 July 2026. The latter set the submission deadline at 8 January 2027, 14:00, according to the announcement published on the oportunitati-ue.gov.ro portal. At the same time, through a separate corrigendum, call PRSM/414 for urban mobility was also extended, until 20 January 2027, 14:00.

The call is non-competitive, with a submission deadline. This means projects do not compete against each other in a ranking. Each project is assessed against the conditions in the guide, but only until the closing deadline.

What this means for your business

Our recommendation: three months remaining is little time for an urban regeneration project starting from scratch. The feasibility study or DALI, permits, property documents, council resolutions and any partnership agreements with UAT-uri in the functional urban area usually take longer. Municipalities that already have advanced technical documentation are the ones that can realistically submit by January.

• For town halls: check now whether the investment falls within the eligible categories and whether its budget is between 0.5 and 9 million €. Schedule the resolution approving the project and the co-financing before the December council session.
• For partnerships: the agreement with the communes or towns in the functional urban area must be signed before submission, with each partner's roles and costs clearly set out.
• For design and construction firms: the call will generate procurement of design services and works in the seven counties of the region. It is worth monitoring SEAP in the coming period.

Common pitfall: do not leave submission until the last days. The deadline has a fixed time, and the submission platform may be busy before closing. For other programmes open to town halls, you can use the eligibility check.
