The Team at Chest negotiate preferential licence agreements for software and online resources for the academic sector. We have been doing this since 1988 when the first agreement for software was negotiated for universities. Further education colleges and other organisations that benefitted from licences for educational purpose soon followed.
We estimate that in 2020-21 Chest Agreements saved the academic community over £80 million collectively in licence costs and efficiency savings.
Chest is a Jisc Enterprise, a not-for-profit membership organisation that provides digital solutions for UK education and research.
