FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   18 July 2003



                         Bond International Software plc

                         $1.1m Software Agreement with
                             StarMed Staffing Group


Bond International Software, the specialist provider of software for the
international recruitment and human resources industries, has recently signed a
contract worth $1.1m, with StarMed Staffing Group, a division of RehabCare
Group, Inc., for StarMed to use Bond's flagship software, Adapt.


Having started as one of the pioneers in healthcare staffing, StarMed has since
grown and has now established itself as a leader in the industry. It has one of
the nation's largest databases of travel, short-term temp and permanent
positions for healthcare professionals.


The decision to use Adapt, rather than other healthcare staffing solutions, was
made because "this allowed us to leverage a single system solution to meet the
needs of both our Travel and Supplemental Staffing divisions," said Jeff
Roggensack, Sr. Vice President/CIO of RehabCare Group.


He continued; "Bond's ability to mimic our unique processes made them stand out
from the competition and ensures that we will not have to change the way we work
to accommodate a new software solution. This product gives us the opportunity to
manage our entire workflow more efficiently. Having a common operating platform
between the temporary staff and the travel sides of our business saves time,
improves communication and makes our offering more valuable to the clients and
professionals we serve."


Bond International's Chief Executive, Steve Russell commented; "We are delighted
to be able to work with a client of such high caliber in the healthcare sector.
Consolidating our position in this niche is important and fits in with our key
strategic long-term initiatives."
