Following of the recent 'Doing Business with the Council' event organised through the Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee, one of the businesses who came to the event recently won a tender for a contract. This company have not previously worked with the Council before and are based in Whitebirk.
Also, as requested by the Committee, the “Doing Business with the Council” section of the website has been made much easier to find on the homepage which can be found at www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk and clicking the new large link button in the main section.
Cllr Ken Moss, Chair of the Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee, said, 'This is a definite step in the right direction because we should be trying to do more to give Hyndburn jobs to Hyndburn businesses. We can't discriminate in favour of anyone by law but as a Council we should have been making it easier for local firms to be aware of what tenders they can apply for within the borough at HBC. We have now addressed this and will keep looking at ways of promoting local skills to generate growth within Hyndburn.'
