      The whole social value score thing is utterly ridiculous, it just diverts resouced away from the projects goal, which in this case is building ships.

      It also creates unecessary jobs for SV managers, which is basically just a made up job which contributes nothing to an organisations productivity.

      Same issue as with electric cars, China is producing more ships than all other nations combined, and with access to the necessary materials, it’s far more cost effective. While we still need to build domestically to maintain skills, it’s inevitable that we’ll fall behind in quality, craftsmanship, and design simply because China gets continuous practice and experience at such scale.

      Regarding the point about low wage economies, high wages aren’t inherently necessary. In countries that are well managed, the cost of living is lower because inflation is controlled and goods are affordable. High wages are mostly needed in places where housing is unaffordable and or inflation is high.

      It’s the unions job to be angry. However it doesn’t mean their argument is valid.

      The award of any contract to Ferguson by a public body would be a disastrous move politically.

      We should absolutely build things locally where possible, but the politics and optics of another award to Ferguson would be disastrous.

      I do find it funny when people cast the SNP as this progressive party. Most of it is window dressings forced on them by the greens.

      Surely instead of social value scores, easier to require certain things within a contract? Such as training a number of apprentices.

      And when it comes down to it, all the people of the islands in Scotland want is a reliable ferry service and their second requirement would preferably be someone other than CalMac.

      Social value is often about investment in the local community. Some of the comments feel a little Reform-esque, poorly informed and a little worried about LGBT. Investment schemes can involve everything from building local amenities, parks for instance, to roads, to investment in training for people, to commitments employing locally. I’ve actually worked on a project that had a social value element and resulted in a commitment to employ 200 people in one of the areas that fell within the bottom 10% of the IMD (Index of multiple deprivation.)

      I’m ignorant of both shipbuilding and “social value” in contract negotiations… so I’ll withhold comment.

      Anything in this country to stuff the working person and funnel money to business. Nationalise and we can nature skills
