Dear all, ***With apologies for cross-posting*** I am pleased to let you know that a new repository supplier has been accepted on to the Jisc Research outputs repositories dynamic purchasing system<https://www.jisc.ac.uk/research-outputs-repository-systems-purchasing>. We now have six repository suppliers accepted, with other suppliers in the process of applying. * 4Science s.r.l.

The DPS sets out minimum standards that suppliers must comply with in order to have their product included. These are set out in the Appendix to the Buyer's guide<http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/7832/1/research-outputs-repository-systems-purchasing-buyers-guide.pdf> which can be downloaded from the service webpage. Jisc members (which include all publicly funded UK universities) can use the service to run mini competitions with suppliers, using standard templates provided, and adding additional requirements of their own, if necessary. Jisc will administer the process on behalf of the member institution.
