The Hendon Library houses the public library at the front of the building, and the Local Studies and Archives and the Schools Library and Resource Service (SLRS) in a staff only area at the back of the building. The SLRS provides a large-scale resource lending service to education establishments in Barnet and beyond. Resources are transported in and out in a range of crates and different sized boxes. Some larger items are delivered as they are. The volume of business exceeds a total of 9000 crates/ boxes/items per year. The service is housed at the back of the library building and is not open to or used by the public. Dispatch of the crates and boxes is from doors at the back of the library. Storage is a key element in how efficiently the service works. It also impacts the public library service staff workspace and local studies and archives workspace who share the space. The SLRS service moved into Hendon in 2017 with a mismatched collection of old shelving left over from other library moves at the time. The shelving is too high, blocks light and its layout has been dictated by what was available rather than optimised to fit the space. SLRS collections are spread across the shared space in an ad hoc nature and have by necessity taken over some archives storage and the shared office, making it unusable as an office.

The purpose of the research is to understand the practical factors that contribute to successful delivery when ICT services are provided across more than one organisation and to identify the arrangements that should be established from the outset to support effective operations, accountability, decision-making and service performance. Rather than focusing solely on formal shared service models, the research should consider a range of collaborative ICT delivery arrangements, including lead authority models, partnership arrangements, jointly managed services and other approaches where responsibility for ICT delivery is shared across multiple councils.

This project supports these ambitions by improving school food procurement practices which will lead to enhanced food quality and sustainability, reduced food waste and primary and secondary pupils being better engaged with the food system.
