This planned tender falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, providing businesses with ample opportunity to participate. Key dates include the end of the enquiry period on 6th October 2025 and the submission deadline on 20th October 2025. The contract, anticipated to commence on 1st December 2025, is slated to end by 30th November 2027, with a possible extension of one year.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in cloud management and financial operations technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly accessible, given Jisc's openness to diverse providers through the G-Cloud14 Framework. Companies skilled in cloud consumption reporting, Microsoft licensing management, and internal cloud usage analytics will benefit greatly from engaging in this process. As it presents a chance to partner with a prominent public authority, successful participants could enhance their credentials and broaden their market reach while capitalising on an additional resell service channel through Jisc’s network.
