Recommendation 10
10
Paragraph: 39
Competitive bidding risks distorting local priorities to align with Whitehall's perceived preferences.
Conclusion
We acknowledge that in certain circumstances competitive bidding can also foster collaboration across local government. However, it can also encourage local authorities to develop plans or projects it perceives Whitehall will value to secure funding, rather than to deliver what their local communities may have prioritised.
