This falls under the industry category of services, specifically focusing on software packages, education, and training services. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with the deadline for engagement responses set for 28th November 2025. The project aims to explore emerging technologies, platform capabilities, and licensing models to inform future digital content for further education. JISC is based in Bristol, UK, and interested parties can reach out to Chris Hallahan for further queries about the process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software systems, secondary to adult education services, and training services to showcase their capabilities and potentially influence the future development of digital content platforms in the education sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suitable for this opportunity, encouraging diversity and innovation in technological solutions. Given that the procurement is currently an information-gathering exercise with no immediate contract awards, it provides businesses with a platform to introduce advanced technological solutions and establish relationships with a key UK educational authority. ## Notice This Request for Information (RFI) is an information gathering exercise by Jisc and is a public, non-binding pre-market engagement exercise - it is neither a selection nor tender exercise; no evaluation, or contract award will result from this process. Its purpose is to help us understand emerging technologies, platform capabilities and different licensing models. The insights we gain from this process will inform the future direction of our digital content for FE, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of the sector.
