The appointed single supplier is to provide Journal Subscriptions for business related insight, research and personal development purposes in 3 different service offerings and 2 different formats, namely Print, Electronic or a combination of both (Print and Electronic). Contracting Authorities will be provided with access to an Online Portal to enable them to search, order, manage and monitor journals.
