| zweckgebunden one-off Explanation: Or short-term. This is not legal terminology like "general/limited partnership"- it just means "earmarked" or "for that specific purpose", rather than a long-term strategic partnership. I suggest: "If the purpose is simply to reduce costs or acquire specific infrastructure, a one-off partnership with the service provider is usually simpler and may be more advantageous."

functional Explanation: I guess "purpose-oriented" would sound way too clumsy, and I don't think that "particular" hits the core.. |
