"description": "The scope of the Framework covers purchases by Higher Education institutions, Further Education and Specialist Colleges and Research Council establishments in the UK, and by any other organisations connected to the Janet network, including Local Authorities, Regional Broadband Consortia, or other bodies whose core purpose is the support or advancement of further or higher education or of research. The services are also available for use by any National Research and Education Network (NREN) and the community it serves where the NREN has either a direct connection to Janet or the NREN is a member at any time during the period of this framework of the consortium that operates GEANT. GEANT is the pan-European research and education network that interconnects Europe's NRENs. A list of members of the GEANT consortium (GEANT Partners) may be found at the URL below. GEANT may also use this framework. As HEAnet, the NREN of the Republic of Ireland, is connected both to Janet and is a member of the GEANT consortium, the framework is available for use by HEAnet, its subsidiaries, member institutions and customers to include schools serviced by the HEAnet school's network. Many of the above organisations are members of higher and further education purchasing consortia. These consortia are independent organisations that provide a wide range of collaborative purchase agreements to their member institutions. Any member of one of these consortia will be eligible to purchase from this framework by virtue of its membership, as will members of any other similar purchasing consortium in higher or further education that might be formed during the lifetime of the framework. Membership lists for existing higher and further education purchasing consortia may be found at: https://www.lupc.ac.uk/member-list https://www.supc.ac.uk/about-us/our-members/our-members http://www.nwupc.ac.uk/our-members http://www.neupc.ac.uk/our-members http://www.hepcw.ac.uk/members/ http://www.apuc-scot.ac.uk/#!/members http://www.geant.net/About/Pages/home.aspx https://www.heanet.ie/about",
