Moreover, firms capable of demonstrating innovative service delivery and operational processes, aligned with the principles of transparency and value for money, will find themselves well-suited to compete in future opportunities of a similar nature. The presence of an open procurement method also indicates a level playing field, encouraging smaller enterprises and VCSEs to engage and potentially secure future contracts.
