Kinaway and UGL have worked together to identify and align potential procurement opportunities within the project we have. This allows UGL to develop a more diversified supply chain which allows Victorian Aboriginal businesses to gain the opportunity and grow their capacity when working with a Tier 1 contractor such a UGL.”
