The European Journal.
When I worked in the Health Service, as I reclal any contract over
100 000 UK pounds had to be advertised in the Journal.
May be slightly higher.

Yes indeed. Back when I worked for Nuclear Diagnostics, we subscribed to
the European Journal. someone in the company sat every month and
highlighted any adverts which were relevant to our company, which sells
medical imaging software. We then wrtote off for the contract
specifications, and if appropriate put in a bid. Putting together
replies for these bids is a lot of work.

If any small companies on the list aren't aware of the European Jornal,
then you really should be.
