Technical requirements: Jisc Services Ltd would like to establish a single supplier framework agreement for the purchase of a simulated phishing service and associated training. The service will allow for both the development and sending of simulated phishing communications and the associated training provision.
This framework agreement is being established to support JSL's customers and other users in purchasing a simulated phishing service and associated training. These organisations will primarily be members of Jisc and/or those providing or supporting education, research or culture. The Janet Eligibility Policy, https://community.jisc.ac.uk/library/janet-policies/eligibility-policy, outlines the types of organisation that are eligible to use the Janet network and its associated services. These can be summarised as:
— local government authorities where these are providing broadband ICT services to schools, or commissioning these services from third parties;
— ‘Regional Broadband Consortia’ and any other vehicles created by local government authorities in England to aggregate the provision of broadband ICT services to schools;
— the equivalent bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland providing broadband ICT services to schools;
Many of the above bodies are also 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 one of these consortia will be eligible to access many of JSL's services 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 hosting arrangement. Membership lists for existing higher and further education purchasing consortia may be found at:
These organisations may also at their own discretion use JSL services in support of their outreach, technology transfer and associated activities in support of their missions. These activities are commonly referred to as ‘business and community engagement’.
Under the Eligibility Policy services may also be provided to the wider public sector and associated bodies whom are providing public services other than those relating to education or research, e.g. blue light services, Courts etc. At present these include local government authorities in England and Northern Ireland, Education Scotland, the Welsh Assembly Government and (to a limited extent) the NHS in England and Scotland.
Services may also be provided to other National Research and Education Networks internationally and onward to their respective customers, either directly or via GEANT; http://www.geant.org/About/NRENs.
