Agencys? Not really (at least never encountered one)

What you need is business networking/professional groups

I work as a small software company - providing my own team to take on a whole project for a customer/client. I've been busy since I started up, but never had to look for new work before - things just turned up. Now I can see a gap looming and I have little idea where to find new work, other than loitering around technical forums or blanket-bombing random companies with emails/letters just in case.

Are there agencies who link up clients with software studios/consultancies, in the same way recruiters link individuals with employers? I've not found sites where companies advertise they're looking for a software development company, other than global sites like RentaCoder. Do they exist?

edit: apologies for the moronic spelling mistake in the title. Long day...

Not sure, why not try tendering for some work though with government projects.
