Conclusion

Sixth Report - Funding for Levelli…
DLUHC lacks clear oversight and understanding of Levelling Up funding contributions.
We are yet to see any evidence of sustained joint working between Departments, and the coordination of the various funding pots they control, which are intended to contribute towards the ambitions of the Levelling Up White Paper. The Department for …

Government Response
The government explicitly disagrees with the committee's conclusion, stating that Levelling Up is a whole-of-government mission where all spending contributes. It highlights extensive joint working across departments and with local actors through various initiatives, including devolution deals, partnerships, and Investment Zones.

Conclusion
Rejected
Sixth Report - Funding for Levelli…
Levelling Up funds fail to replace significant reductions in local authority revenue.
Local authorities’ revenue funding has reduced significantly since 2010. Levelling up funds generally do not replace grant funding because first they are capital not revenue and; second, because they cover specific projects rather than necessarily covering the priorities of the …

Government Response
The government rejects the committee's conclusion, stating that local government's Core Spending Power has seen a real terms increase between 2019-20 and 2023-24. It clarifies that Levelling Up funds are not intended to duplicate core funding and cites the UKSPF as a predominantly revenue-based programme that offers local authorities flexibility.

Recommendation
Rejected
Sixth Report - Funding for Levelli…
Require Government departments to identify and DLUHC to clarify Levelling Up funding contributions.
If Levelling Up is to remain the Government’s flagship policy, as it has described it, its delivery must involve greater co-ordination and oversight across Government where applicable. The Government must get to grips with setting out which funding streams are …
Read more
Government Response
The government explicitly rejects the recommendation for greater co-ordination and oversight and for setting out specific funding streams contributing to levelling up, arguing it's a whole-of-government mission where such categorisation would be misleading. They assert that sustained joint working already exists, citing numerous initiatives and devolution deals.

Recommendation

Sixth Report - Funding for Levelli…
Prioritise flexible revenue funding for local authorities and reduce bid-based allocations.
As a starting principle, local authorities who most require prioritising within the Levelling Up policy should be allocated money through revenue to achieve objectives that are in line with their local circumstances and need, with the appropriate monitoring and expenditure …

Government Response
The government highlights its published plan for simplifying the funding landscape and its commitment to launch a Funding Simplification Doctrine in 2024, which will encourage allocative approaches over competitive bids where suitable. It cites the UKSPF as a non-competitive fund with a mix of revenue and capital funding, empowering local leaders with flexibility.

Limited progress achieved simplifying Levelling Up funding streams and competitive bidding requirements.
The Levelling Up White Paper committed the Department to simplify funding streams and reducing the requirements to access competitive bidding. Despite this, we have seen limited evidence that any progress has been made on these objectives to date. Furthermore, the …

Government Response
The government states it published a plan on 4 July 2023 for simplifying funding and will launch a Funding Simplification Doctrine in 2024 to guide appropriate distribution methodologies.

Competitive bidding processes are resource-intensive, costly, and disadvantage smaller local authorities.
It was made clear by our witnesses that competitive bidding is a resource intensive and costly activity. This can create barriers for stakeholders and communities in need of funding. Whilst limited funding was provided for some local authorities in the …

Government Response
The government outlines its plan for simplifying the funding landscape, published on 4 July 2023, and commits to launching a Funding Simplification Doctrine in 2024.

Recommendation

Simplify Levelling Up funding streams, reduce competitive pots, and provide adequate core funding.
The Government must follow through on its commitment to simplify funding streams and reduce requirements to access competitive pots. The DLUHC must also seek to reduce the number of competitive funding pots. By reducing the number of such pots, by …

Sixth Report - Funding for Levelli…
DLUHC lacks a consistent, department-wide process for providing competitive bid feedback.
We heard evidence which brought into question the extent of support provided to applicants or unsuccessful applicants by DLUHC. There is a wide gap in perception between the quality of feedback the DLUHC said it had provided and the quality …

Government Response
The government confirms it provided feedback to unsuccessful applicants in both rounds, improving the process in round two by providing detailed written feedback based on lessons learned from round one. They note receiving positive feedback on the round two process.

Recommendation

Publish guidance on providing timely, detailed, and consistent feedback for all funding bids.
We recommend that the DLUHC provides better guidance on how it will provide feedback on bids. The guidance must set out that feedback is timely, detailed, and consistent. This is especially important for levelling up funds as the quality of …

Conclusion
Acknowledged

Competitive bidding risks distorting local priorities to align with Whitehall's perceived preferences.
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 …

Government Response
The government acknowledges the administrative burden of competitive bidding and confirms that a simplification plan will balance their approach, committing DLUHC to work with local authorities for fair and transparent distribution. They also highlight existing measures like capacity grants and support for joint bids, affirming that local priorities are tested in funding assessments.

Additional metrics for Levelling Up Fund applications undermined trust and transparency.
A further concern regarding the distribution of competitive funding was the additional metrics for success applied to once applications had closed in round two of the Levelling Up Fund. This was signally unhelpful for perceptions of trust and transparency and …
Read more
Government Response
The government denies that additional metrics were applied after applications closed in round two, stating the decision-making framework and all five wider considerations were outlined in the published Prospectus and Technical Note prior to submissions. They assert a robust and transparent process was followed.

Recommendation
Accepted
Sixth Report - Funding for Levelli…
Prohibit DLUHC from introducing additional metrics, or mandate public communication of changes.
Throughout all future competitive bidding processes, the Government must avoid introducing additional metrics for success once an application process has closed. If, for any reason, this becomes unavoidable, the DLUHC must communicate this change via official and public channels of …

Government Response
The government refutes the claim of introducing new metrics, stating its decision-making framework was published at the outset. It adds that it has provided £65 million in additional funding to support local authorities with project development, including adapting to inflation impacts.

Local authorities incurred significant wasted resources on altered Investment Zone policy.
We heard that an Investment Zone expression of interest costs in the region of £50,000 for one application. Since the Government’s Growth Plan 2022, little to no updates have been provided on the future of Investment Zones until the Budget …

Government Response
The government acknowledges the work councils put into previous Investment Zone applications, stating this effort was not wasted but informed policy development for the refocused program. They explain the decision to limit the number of zones and eligible areas, noting other levelling up opportunities are available for non-Mayoral Combined Authorities and that the list of areas will be kept under review.

Recommendation

Ensure Investment Zone policy stability to prevent wasted resources for local authorities.
The Investment Zone policy geared local government up to the prospect of additional funding before the goalposts were moved. Whilst we appreciate that policies sometimes necessarily evolve over time, every effort must be made to ensure that a similar situation …

DLUHC's decision to abandon IMD and use unclear data metrics is problematic.
The Index for Multiple Deprivation (IMD) has for a long time been widely considered to be the most efficient way of determining ‘need’. As such, we do not agree with the DLUHC’s decision to move away from the use of …

Government Response
The government rejects the premise that IMD is a 'one size fits all' solution, stating their chosen indicators align better with Levelling Up Fund interventions. They clarify that methodology notes and links to data sets for both rounds are publicly available on gov.uk, including a proprietary commercial vacancy rate made public.

Recommendation

Require DLUHC to utilise local government data expertise and ensure clear data sources.
The DLUHC should not seek to fix something which is not broken. Rather than outsourcing the collection of new data sets, the Department should have called on the expertise of bodies such as the Local Government Association and offices within …

Government Response
The government defends its data collection approach, explaining that its chosen indicators align with Levelling Up Fund interventions and that data sources are primarily government statistical releases, with links provided in published methodology notes.

DLUHC lacks sufficient data on levelling up expenditure to measure policy success.
We are concerned about the DLUHC’s lack of sufficient data on all aspects relating to levelling up. The Department has acknowledged that it lacks data of sufficient quality about Government department’s expenditure on the full range of levelling up funds. …

Government Response
The government acknowledges data concerns but states good progress is being made on metrics, with new data publicly available.

DLUHC's Spatial Data Unit's work and future plans remain unclear.

Government Response
The government clarifies that the Spatial Data Unit (SDU) is transforming data use for place-based decision-making and is already producing granular data, such as LSOA Gross Value Added (GVA) and improved R&D expenditure estimates.
