What the notice says
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.
Please read the full RFI document for further information - please contact Chris Hallahan, chris.hallahan@jisc.ac.uk for access.
Contract dates for future tenders/contracts, and values cannot be determined at this stage - where stated these are subject to revision.
