Here in Shropshire & Staffordshire we are taking another look at consortia
purchasing to (potentially) improve our buying power. The 'consortium'
could consist of a number of NHS Trusts or include NHS & HE organisations.
Other than NCC, has anyone out there managed to achieve this? If so, we
would really like to hear from you.
We are initially thinking about the more usual purchases - journal
packages, e-books, databases etc but would be very interested to learn
what has worked in other regions.
with thanks
