Look Online Newsroom, which means that accessing news about important public sector issues has never been easier!

The Newsroom is the newly updated site where visitors can now not only view certain archived BiP publications, but also continue to access relevant up-to-the minute news and reports. Previous issues of Government Opportunities, as well as the monthly NPS Newsletter, can now be downloaded as pdf and rtf documents. Additionally, readers can simplify their news search with a new sector/industry breakdown feature, ensuring that only relevant stories are displayed.

Regular visitors to the site will still benefit from their favourite newsroom features. The main Newsdesk delivers fresh headlines about the latest public procurement issues, including updates to Directives, new government personnel appointments, important PFI/PPP information, and funding information, all of which will prove essential for anyone working in the world of public procurement. The Newsdesk will be equally valuable to anyone interested in government issues and public sector topics.

BiP also hosts other Newsdesks which carry the latest stories about specialist sectors such as health and defence. The Health Newsdesk gives you topical news on a wide range of UK health issues such as new funding arrangements, updated clinical information and current health reports. Similarly, the Defence Newsdesk carries breaking stories about

International and UK defence, with details of contracts awarded, information about new equipment and high-profile appointments.

Each Newsdesk is updated by BiPÂ’s Media team throughout each working day, providing a current news service on the subjects most relevant to you from one convenient and accessible source. Visit BiPÂ’s Newsroom by clicking the link for News at: www. bipcontracts. com.

Notes to Editors

ABOUT BiP

Business Information Publications Ltd (BiP) was established in 1984 to facilitate business between the public and private sectors. What began with the publishing of public sector contract information has since developed into the provision of a comprehensive total procurement solution.

Today, BiP is one of Europe's leading information service providers to the public sector, providing it with not only electronic tendering solutions, website design and management, event management and online news services but also with a whole range of dedicated tender information services, specifically developed for both buyers and suppliers. In fact hundreds of government organisations use BiPÂ’s tender notification information services, as do over 15,000 private sector companies.

These services are supported by our hosting of probably the world's largest database of current open to tender contract opportunities, of which the European Union OJEC data forms merely a small part. Our highly respected trade-focused publications (including those we publish for government) contain news, reports, feature articles and interviews with high-profile public figures.

BiP is also the only official UK publisher of MoD contract information and is recognised within government as an expert on issues relating to European public procurement processes and applications.

BiPÂ’s service development is solely client-driven. In addition to providing our growing client base with more open contract notices and awards, faster than any other service provider, we also provide internet services and web management as a GTC* approved supplier, with technical and contract procedural support. We are also a leading provider of e-tendering procurement systems.

Government Telecommunications Contracts (GTC) are a series of framework agreements, under OGCbuying. solutions, for the provision of telematic infrastructure services. BiP was the only service provider to be awarded a multi-year contract for Internet Services and Web Management, based solely on our expertise and experience. For our customers this means that they can reduce costs and achieve value for money.
