Scottish�charities and voluntary organisations�can now save�significant
money on their essential purchases such as office equipment, stationery,
insurance, telephone calls and literally dozens of other categories.
Recently launched jointly by SCVO and internet
gateway Workwithus.org, the buying and selling platform is called www.3rdForceBuying.com.
Essentially it is an interactive 'yellow pages'
style A-Z directory. Some of the deals are exclusively for SCVO members
whilst others are for the entire voluntary sector. All deals and services
are clearly marked with appropriate icons.
Voluntary
organisations throughout Scotland are already making major savings - for
example, Inverness-based arts promoters Hi
Arts who are SCVO members were able to buy Windows 2003 Server
for �70 rather than the list price of �500.
