## Summary

The University of South Wales commissioned a three-year subscription agreement giving Jisc member institutions access to Info4education at preferential rates. Info4education is an education information platform covering standards, regulatory information, product information, and supplier information from organisations worldwide. Its services include The Construction Information Service (CIS), the Occupational Health and Safety Information Service (OHSIS), and Specify-It. The procurement is for information and subscription access services rather than construction, engineering or health and safety works themselves. The buyer is the University of South Wales, based in Pontypridd, and the arrangement supports access by Jisc member institutions in Wales. The service is classified under CPV 80000000, education and training services.

The procurement is complete. It used a selective, below-threshold award under the Jisc framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. There was one completed lot, and Jisc was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 May 2029. Its value is £71,851.69 excluding VAT, or £86,222.03 including VAT. The contract is active. The arrangement is a framework-based subscription agreement, with Jisc providing access to Info4education for member institutions. The published procurement records identify Jisc as the awarded supplier; the tender description also refers to Allium UK Holding Ltd in connection with the Info4education subscription.

This procurement shows demand from a Welsh higher-education buyer for managed access to authoritative technical and regulatory information. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would provide a robust information platform with broad, regularly maintained content on construction, occupational health and safety, engineering, products, standards, regulations and suppliers. Credibility would come from being able to aggregate information from organisations worldwide, organise it into usable specialist services, and support institutional users through a membership or subscription model. The route used here also matters: relevant competitors would need to understand Jisc’s framework arrangements and how member institutions obtain preferential-rate access. Experience serving education or other professional information users would strengthen a future proposition.
