366: Preferred suppliers: contracts

You could also call this:

“MSD can choose special shops for people on benefits to buy important things from”

MSD stands for the Ministry of Social Development. MSD can make agreements with specific suppliers, called preferred suppliers, on behalf of the government. These agreements are for goods or services that MSD has decided are important. The goods or services from these preferred suppliers are meant to be bought by people who receive benefits from the government or other people that MSD chooses. This helps make sure that certain people can get the things they need from trusted suppliers.
