## Summary

Jisc, located in Bristol, UK, has successfully completed a procurement process for the "Barco weConnect Solution", which falls under the education and training services category. This tender, initiated by a limited procurement method, aimed to secure a multi-screen, multi-configuration remote and hybrid teaching solution to enhance interaction between teachers and students in higher and further education. The contract, valued at £4.8 million and signed on 30th September 2021, is active and spans a period of five years.
