Plans for a major tourism project in Swansea have been criticised by the owner of Welsh adrenaline attraction venture, Zip World. Founder of the Conwy-based firm, Sean Taylor, believes the zip wire and cable car attraction at the city's Kilvey Hill should have been subject to a competitive tendering process for other firms to bid.
Swansea Council, which is working with New Zealand company Skyline Enterprises - the firm behind the plans - said the scheme was proposed by Skyline and is not in breach of any procurement rules.
However, Mr Taylor said: “Why wasn’t there a tender where Welsh companies could have got involved in this? I’m not against competition, but there has been no tender process for the proposal. No opportunity for Zip World to put their name in. All I want is a level-playing field. We might not have had it but we never even had an opportunity.
