Description of the procurement

Jisc Services Limited has established a single supplier framework agreement for the purchase of simulated phishing and associated training services. The framework will run for up to four years on a 2 + 1 + 1 basis, subject to performance review.
The service allows for both the development and sending of simulated phishing communications and the associated training provision. The service is scalable from a small organisation such as a specialist college to larger universities and research councils.
The scope of the framework covers purchases by JSL, Jisc and its members. It also covers purchases by Higher Education institutions, Further Education and Specialist Colleges and Research Council establishments in the UK, and by any other organisations connected to the Janet network, including Local Authorities, Regional Broadband Consortia, or other bodies whose core purpose is the support or advancement of further or higher education or of research. Many of the above organisations are members of higher and further education purchasing consortia. These consortia are independent organisations that provide a wide range of collaborative purchase agreements to their member institutions. Any member of one of these consortia will be eligible to purchase from this framework by virtue of its membership, as will members of any other similar purchasing consortium in higher or further education that might be formed during the lifetime of the framework.
