The Scottish Criminal Case Review Commission (SCCRC) is joining an information systems shared services agreement with Skills Development Scotland and Scottish Enterprise, according to publicservice.co.uk.
It is the latest in a line of shared procurement deals by organisations in the public sector , as budget pressures are forcing cost-saving measures.
Councils in Staffordshire and Derbyshire recently announced a seven-year shared ICT deal, while Leicestershire County Council and Nottingham City Council agreed terms for a partnership deal that it hoped to save around £2 million a year.
Damien Yeates, chief executive for Skills Development Scotland, told publicservice.co.uk: "Our combined vision centres on innovation around productivity, cost efficiency and transformation across public services – delivering significantly more of exceptional quality whilst driving costs down."
