Dear list, Can someone clarify who is actually not willing to negotiate...? The press releases from both sides say that the other is to blame - see below. The JISC statement says: Eduserv had asked JISC for a non-negotiable price for the provision of the Gateway Services significantly above what the JISC Board believed could be justified as a balanced or fair expenditure within the JISC services budget and as a value for money option for the education community as a whole. The Eduserv statement says: "The non-negotiable offer we received from the JISC did not approach the projected full economic cost of the service in 2008/2009 or provide a sustainable basis for the future. " Am I the only one that feels like they are witnessing a school playground argument?
