Yes, but the bids aren't actually made by the chapters. As you well know, the leader of the UK bid isn't even a member of the UK chapter (yet)!
Not officially, no. But in practice, the chapters support the bids and chapter members are active in the bids. Also, while the local team may not be a well-defined group, the core team is. They could cooperate with the chapter and the WMF in writing a joint press release.
