Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland & Fife has called on the Scottish Government to display a list of local firms awarded contracts when projects are being undertaken.
Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland & Fife said:
“In many countries across Europe any Government projects have to display the local firms which have been awarded contracts. Such an approach sends out a clear message that lucrative Government contracts should be made available to local smaller firms.
“I have raised the issue with the Scottish Government and asked what proposals are being considered to provide a similar visible example that Scottish companies are being awarded Government contracts.”
