Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Jisc, an organisation based in Bristol, UK, has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Adestra Renewal" under the industry category of education and training services. The contract, valued at £300,372 and signed on 25th September 2024, has been awarded to Adestra Upland Software. This procurement was carried out using a limited method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, as permitted by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Adestra email system is integral to Jisc's various products and services, ensuring automated email services and high levels of data security across their operations.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in integrated email systems and data security services. With Jisc's reliance on bespoke software solutions, businesses offering similar or complementary services could benefit from future cooperation or subcontracting opportunities. Companies that can offer sophisticated email automation and secure data handling solutions would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes initiated by Jisc or other comparable educational bodies.

Procurement Information

Competition is absent for technical reasons. Therefore, Jisc is clear that the arrangement falls within the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights, contained within Regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, permitting Jisc to enter into the direct award. - A re-engineering of these integrations would require an investment which would outweigh the value of a replacement service. Re-engineering would have to take place over an extensive period and could lead to interruptions in service, decreased capacity of staff - through extensive re-training programme, and possible data loss or higher risks to data security. Undertaking these activities would mean that other core projects for the business such as CRM alignment would also suffer.-
