This tender presents opportunities for growth in the financial consultancy sector, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as the procurement is deemed suitable for such organisations. Although the contract was directly awarded to KROLL ADVISORY LTD, it underscores the potential for financial advisors with expertise in consultancy services to engage with DESNZ, enhancing credentials in public service contracts and establishing relations with a significant governmental authority.
