Heya, Sorry Kent but your comparing apples to oranges.
The contract to supply clothing was going to happen regardless of the supplier, a tangible product was needed for soldiers to wear. The decision to chose the supplier was based purely on the lowest bidder like all military contracts are (right down to Guns and ammunition ... Hence the low accuracy of most milspec weapons). Nzlive is replicating an already existing service ... And at a considerable cost to the tax payer. The question here is does that money need to be spent when a supplier can offer the service for free. Cheers M.B.
