Changes to the way contractors find out about government projects should save taxpayers' cash, according to the Isle of Man Employers' Federation.
In future, government will supply details of tender opportunities via the federation, rather than place adverts in local papers, which it has done for many years.

Les Nicholl of the Employers' Federation says the new process utilises modern technology.
