TOOLKIT LAUNCH: Local Authority Funding Bid Preparation
A new toolkit for local authority funding bid preparation in advance of the next round of the Levelling Up Fund is launched today. It will help councils improve the quality of their Levelling Up Fund bids and select projects that are most likely to succeed in attracting an award. Round 1 of the £4.8bn Levelling Up Fund awarded £1.7bn to councils in 82 areas across the UK. Participation in open competitions is a time-consuming and skilled commitment for councils who are often resource constrained. It is important that, as we anticipate the launch of Round 2, councils have access to clear guidance on how best to score high marks in any bid evaluation process.
Local Partnerships was at the heart of the Round 1 bid appraisal process. We were particularly engaged in testing the deliverability of the projects in conjunction with DLUHC officials. We can therefore provide pragmatic advice on how to improve evaluation scores and I welcome this opportunity to help councils succeed.
