council competing against us! disgusting!

[Johny Walker]

seen it with County councils , borough councils & now even housing associations

 

 

all have some funding from the public purse & are therefore artificially helped to compete

 

 

it doesn’t always mean they are competitive though,

 

however as buyers institutions are in the unique position to potentially ask external commercial company’s for quotes to do work &

in theory they could then use that same commercial information for themselves to bid on other work....which potentially could be against those very same companies..

 

another second tier of the public sector ,, this time pushing the commercial guys further to the wall

 

seems like a mad thought but why not do the rational thing & only have the staff & equipment for their own publiclly funded need.........

 

hey ho

 

like only having 6, men, 2,trucks 2, chippers ,1, stump grinder ,& traxctor off the parks depo wen needed, instead of 15, men ,4,chippers 4,trucks 2, tractors & 2 stump grinders , + runa about trucks hey ho lcc

Believe it or not there is in place a procedure to bid or tender for the use of local authority equipment. This issue was raised at a meeting I attended recently. LAs are also in the process of putting together an audit and valuation of all equipment held.

i used to work for a council, and i for one am not lazy, or anything else mentioned (a few definately where though:lol:)

 

and i was definately NOT overpaid!

 

and i agree that they shouldn't be able to tender for private contracts
