I just can't get my head around this one:
XXX (name of company) is the leading technology partner for hotels, healthcare institutions and public operations. Is public operations used for government entities? Googling did not help me much really. Anyone?

openbare instellingen


Explanation:
Public operations is wat breder dan public works (openbare werken) of public utilities (openbare voorzieningen). De Duitstalige website van je (eind)klant vermeldt 'öffentliche Einrichtungen'.

Example sentence(s):
  • The office of Public Operations consist of three departments: Public Works, Public Utilities and Wastewater Treatment.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: Dit is ook een mogelijkheid. / Goed idee om even te kijken op de website van de (eind)klant. Op de homepage staat zelfs: Turnkey Supplier for Hotels, Hospitals and Public Venues. Daarbij denk ik dan aan 'openbare gelegenheden/gebouwen'.
