I'm really annoyed with the Swansea councils attitude to local business,
If you had the chance of buying a product from a Swansea business or a crapdiff business, exactly the same product exactly the same price.
The Cardiff council have chosen the Cardif business and so have the Swansea council.
Neath have chosen a Neath business.
Exactly the same product. In fact the business does charitable work for the Swansea.
So what would you choose Swansea or Cardiff??? |  | | |  |

If it's just on price and no other mitigating circumstances then I'll agree it's madness to ignore our hard up local businesses for their better off Cardiffian counterparts. A disgrace if true. |  |

I've just been told its not actually the same price
its cheaper in Swansea, but the council have said its down to value for money.
this means absolutely nothing when its the same product a book. | | | |

Same product, same price is an oversimplification. Withut any of the particulars or criteria for selection it's impossible to determine the best offer.
What is the product? A service? Would levels of knowledge and expertise between the two companies be absolutely identical? Support exactly the same? | |

You want the truth?
You can't handle the truth!!
Books are books, same author, same cover, value for money is just a cop out, its a nonsense its just a way for the council to let one big company from crapland charge more, which it gives back to whoever in commissions.
The only difference is a backhanders, nothing more, the council are fully aware of whats going on, they don't want to accept it as its happened under their watch.
Who knows some members may even be involved.
Its the parent of any child in a Swansea school who pays more !
The ridiculous thing is everyone knows!!!!!!! | | | |

Truth? Rubbish, you threw out something without giving any context of what the business deal involved and to be fair still haven't other than something about books.
If I was you, I'd leave it to be honest because if you did reveal further details, ie the company involved an allegation of backhanders is a very serious complaint to make. As in, you'd better be 100% of that fact and have evidence otherwise you're putting yourself and this site at risk of being potentially sued. | |

A person can only be sued if they are lying and im definitely not, its a well known fact amongst certain people, i'd love my day in court !!
Please don't be naïve to think that this does not go on, if I put on here what actually gone on you'd be truly shocked!!! Because I am and most people who know about it are, I'm not going to say exactly whats happened on here, not because its slanderous or untrue, but because the people involved have asked me not to, as it would inform those involved of what is known about them. | | | |

the labour party are not interested in small business,
if it was it would probably be in power now.
they think of the short term solution by selling of our land to make money, we do not have an endless supply of land, that the labour party can steal. | | | |

The schools have to get the cheapest deals possible, wherever it comes from. They're getting hammered by the council. 105 teachers are currently being sacked across the city. One third of teachers in the school our kids go to are being laid off now. The council will know doubt blame the assembly, who will no doubt blame Westminster, who will know doubt blame the last Labour govt, who will no doubt blame the recession.
105! Yet we can pay plenty to contractors and consultants to lay paving stones on our wonderful new 'boulevard' (to where exactly?). |  | | |

As loathe as I am to agree with bluey, he's got a point on this.
Presumably, whatever the contract was, it went through the tender process which would mean that whoever was making the decision wouldn't know which company made which offer and would have to choose the best offer on the table.
The bigger Cardiff company may have more experience in tendering for council contracts than the smaller Swansea company. The local company losing doesn't automatically mean its corruption. |  |

that's what I thought , but no
the Swansea company didn't have as much experience as the cardif company,
but the truth is out and the actual products from Swansea are cheaper significantly because at this time the Swansea company have much less overheads.
The reason they choose the cardif company is because they had past experience of them and they deemed this as "value for money". They said they knew they would not let them down.
But the Swansea company gave them references to prove their ability to do the work from Carmarthen council.
The thing I really don't like about it is the hospitality events that the Swansea company don't offer, as they cannot afford to do this, the Cardiff company charge more but give better hospitality events the Swansea are less but don't do hospitality.
both companies are capable. | | | |
