Companies with the ability to innovate and adapt to varying requirements across the broad geographical spread will be particularly competitive. Suppliers should have a keen interest in long-term public service partnerships and the ability to deliver goods across multiple types with reliable support services to capitalise on the opportunities offered by this strategic engagement.
