private contractors

Private contractors are companies or individuals hired by government agencies or organizations to perform specific tasks or services that might otherwise be handled internally. Unlike government employees, contractors are paid for their work without being part of the government workforce. They often provide specialized expertise, technology, or support for projects such as construction, security, consulting, or IT. Contracts between the organization and the contractor outline the scope, costs, and duration of the work. This arrangement allows organizations to access specialized skills quickly and flexibly, often for temporary or project-based needs.
