Tender description

This Request for Information (RFI) is an information gathering exercise by Jisc and is a public, non-binding pre-market engagement exercise - it is neither a selection nor tender exercise; no evaluation, or contract award will result from this process. Its purpose is to help us understand emerging technologies, platform capabilities and different licensing models. The insights we gain from this process will inform the future direction of our digital content for FE, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of the sector. Please read the full RFI document for further information - please contact Chris Hallahan, chris.hallahan@jisc.ac.uk for access. Contract dates for future tenders/contracts, and values cannot be determined at this stage - where stated these are subject to revision.

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. 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.

A procurement pipeline lists larger contracts expected over the next five years.

Over the past 5 years, most of Jisc's contract awards have been in education and training, IT services and software and information systems.
