Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde procured access to the Info4Education platform through Jisc’s agreement. This is a specialist information and subscription service rather than construction or engineering delivery. The platform provides standards, regulatory, product and supplier information from organisations worldwide, covering construction, health and safety, and engineering. The package includes the Construction Information Service, the Occupational Health and Safety Information Service, and NBS Source information. The service is for use by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The procurement was classified under business and management consultancy-related services, with additional classifications covering education and library or information services. The requirement was grouped into one lot, covering the complete Info4Education product offer.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to Jisc. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, as a call-off from the Jisc Info4Education agreement. The contract was signed on 1 January 2026 and is active, with a three-year commitment described as Info4Education 26–29. The awarded contract value is £71,851.69 excluding any stated tax treatment. One bid was received and submitted electronically; it came from a non-EU foreign bidder, and no SME bid was recorded. The procurement was evaluated through the terms of the existing Jisc agreement rather than an open tender. The single lot covered access to all products in the Info4Education package, with no additional purchase options.

This award shows a defined institutional requirement for consolidated technical information covering construction, occupational health and safety, engineering standards, regulatory material, product data and supplier information. Suppliers seeking to compete when this type of requirement returns would need a credible, maintained information platform with broad international coverage and authoritative content across all of those subject areas. They would also need to provide reliable institutional access, manage a multi-product subscription and demonstrate that users can reach the relevant information through one service. The procurement route indicates that framework or agreement access is commercially important: Jisc was selected through its existing Info4Education agreement. A competitor would therefore need both the content capability and a route to supply UK higher-education organisations through comparable arrangements.
