[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 256244, member: 40343"] Here's an idea. Get the NHS to do one big exclusive deal with say Staples but in the contract stipulate that it will only pay Staples RETAIL prices for things. The NHS would save a fortune and Staples wouldn't be able to rip the NHS off because raising its retail prices would effect its pricing for everyone else. Why do I say that? Well a friend who is in a volunteer group for a local mental health day centre needed to get a filing cabinet for the day centres use. They could buy one for £29.99 from Staples but Staples weren't an approved supplier so they had to get one from an approved supplier. Same filing cabinet as Staples would have supplied turned up cost £179.99. Absolute madness and a total waste of our money. [/QUOTE]
