Summary of the contracting process

JISC, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level in the United Kingdom, has recently completed a procurement process for the contract titled "DETAIL Architecture GmbH 2026-2029". This contract was awarded through a direct approach due to the unique nature of the IP held by Detail Architecture GmbH, which is based in Munich, Germany. The procurement focuses on education and training services, specifically providing JISC member institutions access to a comprehensive database including photos, drawings, and technical information. The contract, valued at £220,000, was signed on 20th January 2026 and will be in effect from 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2029. This framework agreement covers organisations across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland without the need for reopening competition since Detail Architecture GmbH is the sole supplier of this particular resource.
