UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde bought subscription access to the Info4Education platform through Jisc’s Info4Education agreement. The service provides access to standards, regulatory information, product information and supplier information relating to construction, health and safety, and engineering. The information is sourced from organisations across the world, while the contracting activity is for the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and delivery is identified in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist information and subscription service rather than construction, engineering or health and safety works. It is relevant to suppliers that provide professional information platforms, technical standards content, regulatory intelligence, product and supplier databases, or comparable institutional information services. The buyer is a Scottish public authority operating under Scottish devolved regulations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through one completed lot. It used a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework, without competition. The award was made to JISC SERVICES LIMITED on 1 January 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028. Its value is £71,851.69 excluding VAT, or £86,222.03 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers subscription services for the Info4Education requirement. The procurement was evaluated and awarded under the existing Jisc Info4Education agreement, rather than through a competitive tender for this call-off. The process is linked to the wider Info4Education framework arrangement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows that the University of Strathclyde uses a framework route to obtain specialist information subscriptions covering construction, health and safety and engineering. A credible future competitor would need an established platform or information service that brings together authoritative standards, regulatory, product and supplier content from organisations across multiple countries. The service would need to support institutional access and provide dependable, relevant information for university users. Experience serving public-sector or higher-education customers, and the ability to operate through an appropriate framework agreement, would strengthen a supplier’s position. The incumbent’s role also shows that the buyer values a consolidated information resource rather than separate purchases of unrelated technical content.
