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.
