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
