About the buyer
Jisc provides digital, data and network services to UK higher and further education, and buys as a central body with its own commercial team. Suppliers register free on the Mercell e-tendering portal to view and respond to opportunities. Contracts also appear on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service. A procurement pipeline lists larger contracts expected over the next five years. Frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems cover network equipment, cloud services and research systems. Member universities and colleges call off these agreements directly, without running their own tender. Regional partners including SUPC, APUC and HEPCW extend this buying power across the sector.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of Jisc's contract awards have been in education and training, IT services and software and information systems.
