We received an impressive response from publishers to our Invitation to Tender.  Bids for nearly 50 resources were submitted, and from these our marking panel of public librarians have selected a dozen which they have recommended to be taken forward.

We are currently involved in negotiating the licences with the successful publishers, and are aiming to have the agreements ready for subscribers by the start of September 2010.

There will be more details about the chosen resources soon, but we’re sure that they will be welcome additions to your libraries’ online collections.

Thank you to all those who offered their time, knowledge and expertise to help with the marking of the bids.
