Jisc is looking to create a multi-supplier framework offering software testing services for use by our members and other organizations within the HE/FE and research sectors.
By promoting the best practices of quality engineering, and how it improves their business and showing them what good software delivery looks like, Jisc could be instrumental in changing how software is implemented and delivered.
The specific procurement procedure Jisc will use is TBC, and will be informed by interest received from this PIN. Framework specifics are also TBC, though a 2yr initial period, with an extension of 2 further years could be expected.
Interested suppliers should respond to the named contact, listing their software testing services with a short description of each.
