In order to fulfil supply contracts in the long term, public companies must also act flexibly on the market. This is a challenge that requires a great deal of skill and tact in addition to experience. After all, the privatisation or re-municipalisation of basic supply companies is always in the public eye. The public budgets therefore need a competent and experienced contact person to find the right individual answers to these questions.
