We have allocated less money through calls and opt-ins. Some of our open calls have attracted bids but these have not come through to contract due to value for money measurement by the managing Authority being too stringent.

We are therefore recommending further discussions with the Managing Authority, Department for Work and Pensions to identify national match to local programmes.
