Welcome to NEYAL.
The NEYAL Purchasing Consortium is a group of academic libraries, based in the North, East, Yorkshire and Midlands areas of England, which exists for the purpose of purchasing library materials and services to support teaching, learning and research at the most advantageous prices for the Consortium.

About NEYAL

  • Managing these agreements in accordance with legal and contractual requirements.
  • Benchmarking pricing and service provision with other academic library consortia.
  • Acting as a focal point for gathering and disseminating information on good purchasing practices for member libraries.
