Summary

Machine-generated summary

Jisc Services Limited (JSL), a UK buyer, intends to establish a framework for high-quality digital assessment and feedback solutions supporting effective, secure and learner-centred assessment practices. This UK3 prior information notice does not yet invite bids. Instead, it prepares vendors for the upcoming live tender by sharing the anticipated process, timetables and award criteria. Draft documents, including the scope of requirements, functional requirements, pricing schedule and Jisc SaaS agreement, are downloadable and may be annotated with feedback via the JSL eProcurement system. Responding is optional and does not affect future bidding. All details are estimates and subject to change.

Description

** please note that the esitmated date of publication for this tender has been amended to 26/10/2026, though this remains subject to change ** Further to our earlier UK2 notice, Jisc Services Limited (JSL) is nearing finalisation of tender documentation for the creation of a framework providing high-quality assessment and feedback solutions that support effective, secure, and learner-centred assessment practices. This UK3 notice is designed to better prepare interested vendors ahead of the live tender, providing details on tender process, anticipated timetables, and award criteria. Further, we are also encouraging vendors to provide feedback on some of the intended tender pack, namely drafts of; - the scope of requirements schedule - the functional requirements - the pricing schedule - the Jisc SaaS agreement (from which the framework agreement will be based upon) Versions of these documents are available for download via the JSL eProcurement system, and where the vendor chooses to respond, should be returned with annotation via the same system. All comments provided will be reviewed and JSL will use these to refine the tender pack as deemed appropriate. A response is not mandated and will not affect vendors from tendering a bid in due course. Please note that *all* information provided at this stage is given in good faith, based upon best estimates but is subject to change.
