24 January 2005
An online auction hosted by Cardiff University has netted the Welsh public sector services a £5 million saving. Suppliers from all over Wales bid against each other to supply stationary and office ‘consumables’ for all public sector organisations in Wales. The auction, which lasted two hours, drove down the final price to £4.1 million, a 57 per cent saving from last year.
