Summary of the contracting process

Jisc Services Limited has entered into a contract with The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Cambridge through its department Cambridge University Press & Assessment for the provision of Core Datasets from 2025 to 2028. The framework covers education and training services and operates in the UK. The contract, valued at £557,000, was signed on 15 November 2024. This falls under the complete procurement stage and utilises a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, relevant to intellectual property rights. The standstill period ensured transparency and allowed for any challenges before finalisation.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the education and training services sector, particularly those that can support higher and further education institutions, research bodies, and specialist colleges. By securing access to high-quality Cambridge datasets, smaller educational service providers can enhance their offerings and attract more clients within consortia or independent bodies. This alignment with a prestigious institution like Cambridge University Press reinforces credibility and can boost the market presence of the service providers engaged in this framework.

    "description": "The scope of the framework covers purchases by public sector organisations, including but not limited to the following: * Higher Education institutions * Further Education institutions * Consortiums and any other Organisation or Body whose core purpose is the support or advancement of further or higher education or of research. * Any other education institute such as Schools or Colleges * Multi Academy Trusts and other such organisations established and acting on behalf Schools and Colleges * Specialist Colleges Research Council establishments * Charities and Third sector organisations * Local Authorities * Housing Associations * NHS bodies and bodies acting on behalf of the NHS * Emergency services and bodies acting on behalf of the NHS * Regional Broadband Consortia and any other the organisations connected to or eligible to connect to the Janet network. * JSL, Jisc, any Jisc subsidiaries and its members. * Any other wider public sector organisation. The framework is open to organisations in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, as well as members of NRENs outside the UK. 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. The Framework is 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, or 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. The framework is available for use by HEAnet, its subsidiaries, member institutions and customers to include schools serviced by the HEAnet school's network. As HEAnet, the NREN of the Republic of Ireland, is connected both to Janet and is a member of the GEANT consortium. Membership lists for existing higher and further education purchasing consortia may be found at: * https://www.lupc.ac.uk/member-list (https://www.lupc.ac.uk/member-list * https://www.supc.ac.uk/about-us/our-members/our-members (https://www.supc.ac.uk/about-us/our-members/our-members * http://www.nwupc.ac.uk/our-members (http://www.nwupc.ac.uk/our-members * http://www.neupc.ac.uk/members (http://www.neupc.ac.uk/members * http://www.hepcw.ac.uk/members/ (http://www.hepcw.ac.uk/members/ * http://www.apuc-scot.ac.uk/#!/members (http://www.apuc-scot.ac.uk/#!/members * https://www.heanet.ie/who-we-are https://about.geant.org/membership/members-associates-general-assembly-representatives/",
