How does the digital voucher work?
The beneficiary must use the awarded aid, the right to which is called a "digital voucher," to contract one or more digitization solutions from those available in the Program's Digitization Solutions Catalog, which is available on the Acelera pyme platform. To do so, they will formalize Digitization Solutions Provision Agreements with the participating Digitization Agents.
The right to payment arising from the grant award resolution is called a "digital voucher." This "digital voucher" cannot be redeemed until the Digitizing Agent, acting on behalf of the beneficiary (who is ultimately responsible), submits the corresponding accounting justification for the activity for which the grant is awarded, and the granting body deems the grant justified.
The beneficiary will pay for the service by transferring the portion of the "digital voucher" associated with the signed Digital Solutions Provision Agreement to the Participating Digitalization Agent, and by paying the corresponding portion of the non-subsidized costs. This "digital voucher" will be transferred to the corresponding digitalization agent as payment for the services provided.
During the provision of the digital solution, the Participating Digitalization Agent, on behalf of the beneficiary, must submit justification of the actions taken, consisting of the required documentation and any other legally admissible evidence. Once this has been checked and verified, the Participating Digitalization Agent will receive payment for the amount of the "digital voucher" corresponding to the aid associated with the signed Digitalization Solutions Provision Agreement.
The verification of the supporting documentation will be carried out by the collaborating entity based on the documentation provided by the digitizing agent on behalf of the beneficiary. The verification of the aid may include, where applicable, a request for corrections.
Application deadline
The deadline for submitting applications will be at least three months from the publication of the corresponding call or until the budgetary credit for the call is exhausted.
The maximum period for the signing of Digitalization Solutions Provision Agreements by both parties will be six months from the notification of the resolution granting the aid.
The grants will be awarded in order of application, applying the non-competitive concurrence regime.
The application will be made by completing an automated form on the electronic portal that will be determined in each call, which will be accessible from the Acelera pyme platform.
Execution of the activity
The execution will be carried out in two phases:
a) A first phase with a maximum term of 3 months. The milestone that marks the beginning of this phase is the validation of the Digitalization Solutions Provision Agreement in accordance with article 30. During this phase, the installation, and development where applicable, of the solution must be carried out, as well as the payment of the invoice issued by the Adhering Digitalization Agent, subject to the beneficiary's consent, as established in section 3 of this article.
b) A second phase with a term of 12 months, from the date of issue of the invoice in the previous phase.
The Digitization Agent will issue the beneficiary a single invoice for the total amount of the contracted digitization solution associated with the Digitization Solutions Provision Agreement. The invoice will reflect the reduction in the amount payable by the beneficiary, compared to the amount of the grant awarded under the Digitization Solutions Provision Agreement, the right to collect which is expressly assigned to the Participating Digitization Agent upon formalization of said Agreement.
