This might be a double definition.

'gets in touch with' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'current needs?' is the second definition.

Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for contacts that I've seen is " Communicates".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
