Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:14 pm on 29 June 2016.
Can I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response and managing to get out what SQuID actually stands for much better than I could have done? I’m going to carry on with SQuID, though. [Laughter.] SQuID is an excellent scheme that allows smaller contractors to compete across a range of projects, and Welsh Government policy is that all local authorities should use it. A survey by the Electrical Contractors’ Association shows that while all local authorities use it, only seven of the 22 councils use it exclusively. Can the Minister investigate this and try and get all councils to use it for all their contracts?
