Lanbide has extended the application deadline for employmen…

Francisco Pedraza Moreno, the general director of Lanbide-Basque Public Employment Service, has corrected the errors of the October 20 call through a resolution dated October 29, and has extended the deadline for submitting applications for comprehensive employment, training, and professional reintegration project grants until November 20, 2026. The correction has been published as resolution reference 2026/4779 in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country (BOPV), issue number 216, on November 11, 2026, in the section of other provisions. The measure includes two corrections: first, it changes the deadline for applications, and second, it corrects the electronic addresses that beneficiary organizations must use to verify payment data.

Deadline: from October 15 to November 20

The first part of the correction amends article 8.5 of the call’s annex, in the Spanish version, on page 36/59 of the original text. The previous wording set October 15, 2026, as the final day for comprehensive project applications; now, however, it specifies that the deadline ends on November 20, 2026. As the text itself clarifies, the period is counted from the day following its publication in the BOPV, and this condition remains the same after the correction.

The call itself was published in the October 28 gazette, issue number 206, with reference 2026/4546, and therefore the window for submitting applications opened on October 29. Today, November 11, there are nine days remaining until the deadline, and the period will not be extended again unless another resolution is published.

Payment data process and new addresses

The second correction affects article 17.4 of the annex, on page 50/59 of the original text, and clarifies the point regulating the process for bank data to collect the grant. Payment will be made to the current account indicated by the beneficiary organization; any organization that has not received payment from Lanbide or wishes to change its bank data must fill out the third-party form, using the following three addresses instead of the one previously indicated:

These three addresses correspond to the three funding lines for comprehensive projects, and any of them can be used to fill out the form. The previous wording only showed the address www.euskadi.eus/servicios/1113708, and the correction replaces it.

7.95 million euros and three funding lines

The basic documents of the call, the resolution of October 20 —2026/4546—, allocate 7,950,380 euros for the 2026-2027 period. Lanbide’s Administrative Council approved the call at the October 19 meeting, and the amount is distributed as follows:

Total: 7,950,380 euros; 4,200,000 euros as a 2026 payment credit and 3,750,380 euros as a 2027 commitment credit.
1st line (prospection, guidance and training): 3,400,000 euros, 2,074,810 euros in 2026 and 1,325,190 euros in 2027.
2nd line (intensive activation and targeted job search): 3,400,000 euros, with the same distribution.
3rd line (employment contracts at the end of itineraries): 1,150,380 euros, 50,380 euros in 2026 and 1,100,000 euros in 2027.

These amounts may be increased by up to 10% if budget modifications are approved, which would be notified by Lanbide through a resolution published in the BOPV. The fixed distribution by historical territories is: Araba 16.16%, Bizkaia 50.39% and Gipuzkoa 33.45%. Furthermore, the call comes with complementary financing through the ESF Plus Euskadi 2021-2027 program.

Targeted at: from public entities to companies

The entities that can be beneficiaries of the grants are broad, and they will be evaluated according to their technical capacity:

Provincial councils and the provincial public sector.
Municipalities of the BAC and the local public sector.
Public sector entities of the BAC.
Local or regional development agencies and their associations.
Chambers of Commerce, provided they have three years of experience directly carrying out vocational guidance activities.
Public and private training institutions, accredited in the corresponding registry.
Non-profit organizations, targeted at collectives with special difficulties for labor integration.
Private companies, individually or in groups, with hiring needs.

In the case of grants linked to employment contracts, companies and natural persons may also be beneficiaries, provided their workplace is in the BAC.

Legal basis and processing route

The correction is based on article 18.2 c) of the Decree 217/2008 regulation; which mandates that if errors or omissions in the text are not clearly perceived and the corrections may cause the content or meaning to change, they must be corrected by a provision of the same level. For this reason, the resolutions themselves have a corrective nature, and the entire call is not being re-issued.

Within the legal framework of the call are Decree 93/2025 (Lanbide’s statutes) and Law 20/2023, which regulates the regime of grants, as well as Decree 18/2024, which grants the Department of Economy, Labor and Employment the competence for employment policy and vocational training.

What it means for requesting entities

The corrections do not change either the objectives or the amount of financing: only the reference to the deadline for submitting applications and the links to the payment process are corrected. However, the impact is direct for the entities, as the call was published on October 28 and the date established in the original text had already passed; consequently, the period to complete projects and send them to Lanbide remains open.
