The JANET Portal

Effective customer communications, information dissemination and access to on-line services are key priorities for JANET(UK). Our on-line presence is central to achieving these priorities, and as such we are initiating a programme of work to transform the way we interact with our customers, potential customers and the general public in the online environment. The requirement to improve our on-line presence and on-line resources is underpinned by both internal requirements gathering and external market research.  JANET(UK) is therefore initiating a procurement process to purchase associated products and services to achieve these goals.

Further information can be found in the Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) which is available electronically as a Word file and an Adobe PDF file.

Suppliers should note that before submitting a response to the PQQ they must register their intent to do this with JANET(UK).

Each potential supplier must register on the JANET(UK) e-tendering opportunities portal at:

https://tenders.ja.net

Note: if your company is not already registered as a user of the JANET(UK) portal it is necessary first to register as a user of the portal.  Once this registration is accepted by JANET(UK), a username and password will be issued, and should be used for all future accesses to the portal.  Note also that JANET(UK) will reject a supplier’s registration if there is already a  registration on the portal for that supplier.  Please remember also that this initial registration is not a registration for a particular contract, it is only the registration of the supplier on the JANET(UK) portal.  When the username and password are received, it is necessary then to login and register interest in a specific contract.

When registering, it is recommended that a generic mailbox (such as sales@supplier) is set up, so that information from the system can be sent to more than one representative at the company.
