The Digital Archival Collections Group Purchasing Scheme makes primary source materials and archives more affordable to Higher Education. Group purchasing is community-centred, based on the simple market principle; the more products that are purchased, the lower the price for those participating. The scheme runs from November to July of each academic year and guarantees a minimum saving of 20% off the list price of all the products on offer, with the potential to expand to 30% depending on uptake.

e.g. Publisher X has 20 product titles on offer, with discount triggers set at 20% for 1-4 products sold, 25% for 5-9 products sold, 30% for 10-plus products sold;

Six HE institutions across Jisc bands purchase a total of nine products, which can be different or repeat titles from the pool of 20 on offer;

Total discount achieved = 25% off the Jisc-banded list price.

All products are a perpetual purchase, with no recurrent platform or hosting fees. Prices are set in a transparent way (excluding VAT that may be applicable depending on the product offered). For a VAT breakdown by product, please review the pricing spreadsheet.

Eligible institutions/ group: Higher Education and Alternative HE Providers
