Jisc Board and Committee Papers Framework.

Descriptions

This Framework is for a system which will manage securely highly confidential Board and Committee papers while making them easily accessible to authorised users and administrators anywhere and at any time. Proposed systems should be able to integrate with Share-point, either on premise or in the Cloud, ideally both, and be accessible from all commonly available smart phones, tablets, laptop and desktop computers.The scope of the framework covers purchases by Jisc, JSL, Higher Education institutions, Further Education and Specialist Colleges and Research Council establishments in the UK, and by any other bodies whose core purpose is the support or advancement of further or higher education or of research.Many of the above bodies are members of higher and further education purchasing consortia. These are independent organisations that provide a wide range of collaborative purchase agreements to their member institutions through consensus and the common desire to maximise their purchasing power in the market place. Any member of 1 of these consortia will be eligible to purchase from this Service 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 Service.Membership lists for existing higher and further education purchasing consortia may be found at:— http://www.lupc.ac.uk/list-of-members.html— http://www.supc.ac.uk/— http://www.nwupc.ac.uk/our-members— http://www.neupc.ac.uk/our-members— http://www.hepcw.ac.uk/files/2013/12/HEPCW-Members.pdf— http://www.apuc-scot.ac.uk/#!/membersThe Service is also available for use by any National Research and Education Network (NREN) and the community it serves where the NREN has either a direct connection to Janet or the NREN is a member at any time during the period of this framework of the consortium that operates GÉANT. GÉANT is the pan-European research and education network that interconnects Europe's NRENs. A list of members of the GÉANT consortium (GÉANT Partners) may be found at the URL below.
