Wireless telecommunications system

Tender description

Jisc Services Ltd intends to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Public Wi-Fi Services “the Service”. The DPS will operate using multiple Suppliers. JSL is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System that will enable JSL and its members and customers to easily purchase value for money and technically sound Public Wi-Fi Services. These services will typically utilise the physical infrastructure already deployed at the Member and Customer’s site(s) and will be backhauled via an encrypted tunnel across the Janet network to the Supplier’s network. This infrastructure will allow Customer organisations to offer wireless connectivity to general public visitors to their campus who are not affiliated with an education organisation (and therefore are not eligible to use eduroam, the federated roaming connectivity solution for the education sector). The scope of the DPS covers purchases by JSL, Jisc and its members and customers. These organisations will primarily be members of Jisc and/or those providing or supporting education, research or culture. Further details of the organisations eligible to use the Service are in Section 3.3 of the Request to Participate document.
