Recommendation (the committee's words)
The nature of competitive bidding can result in resentment between communities and similar neighbouring authorities across the country. Communities and local 38 Funding for Levelling Up authorities should be encouraged to work together, and the Government should be mindful of any adverse effects caused by competitive bidding. It is important that competitive bidding does not pit communities or local authorities against one another for finite resources.
