What the notice says

Jisc is undertaking a refresh of its DNS infrastructure and seeks a solution that delivers a secure, scalable, and integrated experience for our members. This is an information gathering exercise for a DNS management solution. It is neither a selection nor tender exercise; no evaluation, or award will result from this process. Information supplied in this process will be used to support a decision on the most appropriate route to market/viable solution and potentially inform a future procurement process. Further information can be found in the RFI document available on our e-tendering portal.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
