## Summary

Jisc is currently initiating a tender process for the establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to facilitate the procurement of Electronic Research and Laboratory Notebook (ERN) solutions for its members. The project is titled "Electronic Research and Laboratory Notebook DPS," and falls under the industry category of specific software packages with CPV code 48100000. This procurement, constituting a 'goods' category, will primarily benefit academic and research environments by replacing traditional paper lab notebooks with digital solutions. The key locations for the delivery are within the UK, and the procurement stage is currently active with the tender period concluding on 4th November 2027. This restricted procedure invites electronic or written submissions, and the contract duration is set at an initial period of one year with the possibility of two additional 12-month extensions.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software packages and information systems, inventory management, industrial control, compliance, medical, and educational software packages. The total estimated contract value is £1,500,000. Businesses that can fulfill the technical requirements and offer competitive, value-for-money solutions will find this an attractive proposition. Companies looking to expand their presence in the digital research tools market or those with innovative ERN solutions tailored to academic needs are well-suited to participate.
