It also covers converged network adapters, interface modules, transceivers, access points, VoIP products, etc, associated ancillary goods including, but not limited to software, cabling and installation; and associated services including but not limited to development days, project management and fully managed solutions.
The framework will run for an initial term of two years commencing on 1 September 2023. JSL will then have the option to extend the framework for two further years (1 + 1) up to 31 August 2027. This will mean a maximum possible lifetime of 4 years for the framework.
The scope of the framework covers purchases by JSL, Jisc, any Jisc subsidiaries and its members. It also covers purchases by Higher Education institutions, Further Education and Specialist Colleges Research Council establishments in the UK, Charities and Third sector organisations, and by any other organisations connected to or eligible to connect 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.
