Doing Business with the Netherlands Ministry of Defense

The Netherlands Ministry of Defense has published a brochure entitled "Doing Business with the Ministry of Defence."  It is aimed at companies who wish to do business with their Ministry of Defense, which includes all branches of the Netherlands armed forces. You do not have to be a supplier of specifically military products in order to do business with them. It also purchases a wide range of civilian products, not only equipment but also services. This brochure can be accessed via the following website: http://www.mindef.nl/. Once you are there select "English" and "A list of brochures in the English language" and then "Doing business with the Netherlands Ministry of Defence."
