hi there

OJEC was the european journal, tenders over a value went in their, that is public bodies, etc,


for example, a cuncil may go thro a tender questionnaire process to compile its latest list of approved sub contractors.

or

the council will g out to tender for all its window cleaning requirments, on all its buildings.

send a portfolio of your company to builders, councils etc etc etc with a covering letter requesting that your company be added to they list of contractors, if they like your portfolio they will add you, next time a tender goes out you`ll be included

surveyors and achitects are also good ones to send your portfolio to ;D

Jonny,

Try contacting the DTI (Dept for Trade & Industry) and ask them to send you ` Tendering for Government Contracts`, (A Guide for Small Businesses).

There are publications like `Contrax Weekly` or `Government Opportunities`

or you could take a look at websites like : - www.ectender.com
www.supply2.gov.uk

A good idea is to network yourself about by joining your local chamber of commerce or businesslink, or to join the masons or conservative social clubs.

Also contacting the BIFM - British Institutes of Facilities Management at www.bifm.org.uk is another.
Its definately worth looking at a directory of trade organisations at your local library.
