Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Jisc Services Limited, a not-for-profit company serving UK universities and colleges, wants to set up a framework agreement with multiple suppliers who can resell Google products for education, including Google Workspace for Education, Gemini for Education, Chrome Education Upgrade, ChromeOS Flex and certain Google Cloud commitments. Successful suppliers would handle licence orders, renewals, upgrades, downgrades and migrations, and provide ongoing support to education customers. Pricing and the Google products themselves are governed by a separate agreement between Jisc and Google.

What the buyer wants

• Become an authorised Google reseller able to take orders, provision new licences, and manage renewals, upgrades, downgrades, true-ups and true-downs across the permitted editions • Manage migrations between permitted Google editions for education customers, with clear processes and timescales • Provide full wrap-around support to customers, including helpdesk, onboarding, account management and escalation to Google where needed

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Without a current Google reseller or partner authorisation and the ability to deliver 24/7 or education-term support across a large customer base, most small businesses would be unable to meet the core requirements.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
