Tender description

Jisc is looking to establish an internal framework, which will service the requirements of Jisc that cannot be wholly delivered in-house. Jisc's marketing and communications directorate operates a virtual agency model, where creative, brand and production requirements are outsourced to external individuals and/or agencies. There is a requirement for a broad range of disciplines that can support the marketing and communications teams, and other areas within Jisc. We are looking for agencies who are collaborative, easy and open to work with, and are excellent at managing healthy relationships with other suppliers. We believe that where appropriate, using multiple suppliers on a single project and utilising their individual strengths can bring out a much richer, more interesting and successful output.    Interested parties must firstly be registered with the portal; if the registration has elapsed or is not accessible to the bidder, only the platform provider has access to supplier registrations. Registration to the portal nor 'accessing' the procurement/ online tender opportunity is not considered as an expression of interest or submission to any specific procurement process - a clear response must be made in line with the requirements of the ITT suite.

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.
