Physical Stock

Arrangements for the provision of library stock are required to ensure the continuity of provision following expiry of the current contracts.

As consortium members of the NWLC, we currently receive a significant discount on the cost of library stock, it is unlikely that we would receive such terms as an individual authority with a much smaller spend. One of the benefits of the current arrangement is the reduced staff time involved in the selection of stock and management of the supply. We do not currently have the capacity to take on an individual arrangement
