Can you briefly discuss the purpose of Government Contracts in doing business with the Public/Private companies?
The purpose of the government
contracts in doing businesses with the public or private enterprise
is to build public private partnership and get the expertise,
higher efficiency and network benefits of the specialized
organizations that can reduce the overhead costs and government can
achieve its goals with a dedicated budget. It reduces the scope of
failure and liabilities are shared as work is being awarded to the
companies who are specialized to do that and in a given budget,
time schedule and key deliverables. Further, it also solves one
purpose of the government that is to create employment. When a work
contract is awarded to public or private companies, then these
organizations will create new jobs and funds will be channelized to
stimulate the aggregate demand of the economy as well. So, there
are multiple objectives and purpose (primary and secondary) when
government contracts are awarded to the public or private
companies.
