                    General Information:

                    The European Commission has published prior
                    information on an invitation to tender for the
                    provision of an information technology and
                    management magazine. 

                    The Commission will shortly launch a call for
                    tender aimed at selecting a number of
                    organisations from all the Member States. These
                    organisations may be private or public,
                    universities, firms or associations. 

                    The call will cover the provision of services in
                    connection with a new magazine which the
                    Commission intends to publish, the subject of
                    which will be "Information Technology and
                    Management". The main target public of this
                    magazine - which will include both practical and
                    theoretical contributions - will consist of
                    managers working in the European Commission and
                    other European institutions. 

                    A two-year contract, with one possible renewal of
                    one year, will be signed with each of the selected
                    organisations. The contract will cover the
                    provision of two different types of services: 

                    - Together with the Commission, the selected
                    organisations will set up an editorial board,
                    which will be in charge of the design and the
                    selection of content of the magazine; - In the
                    case of universities, each of them will set up a
                    drafting committee which will coordinate and
                    select contributions from authors at national
                    level. 

                    These services will be provided on a non-profit
                    making basis, apart from the reimbursement of
                    travel expenses and the payment to individual
                    authors of flat-rate sums per article published. 

                    The tender is expected to be published in June
                    1999.
