Summary of the contracting process

Jisc, located in Bristol, UK, has finalised a direct award contract with Public Information Online (PIO) for its members, effective from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2028. The procurement process falls within the education and training services category, allowing Jisc members, including various educational and research institutions across the UK, to subscribe to PIO's comprehensive collection of parliamentary papers from various UK parliaments. With the direct award method justified by PIO's unique status as the only rights holder and supplier, Jisc Services Limited, a subsidiary of Jisc, acts as the buyer, with the overall contract valued at £313,000.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for growth within the education sector. Businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those looking to collaborate or integrate with academic institutions, would find this framework invaluable. The opportunity is largely geared towards entities capable of enhancing or utilising such exclusive parliamentary content across higher and further education domains. SME suppliers, especially those offering supplementary educational solutions, can particularly benefit from aligning their services with those of PIO to access a widespread network of educational bodies. While the contract is closed, understanding its structure could guide similar future engagements or partnerships.
