About Us

Jisc negotiates preferential licence agreements for software and digital resources tailored to the education and research sector. These products are available on either the Chest platform or licence subscriptions manager (LSM).  Work on aligning these two platforms is underway.

Our agreements:

  • Are open to more than 700 universities, colleges and research bodies, as well as other organisations aligned with Jisc's charitable objectives of supporting education*
  • Save time and money for members and customers
  • Enable vendors to reach the market more quickly
  • Benefit from our in-depth understanding of the UK education sector
  • Have preferential terms and conditions which are explained in easy-to-understand language

*Please check specific eligibility criteria for each agreement

Savings

Jisc focuses on what is right for members, customers and vendors. 

Chest is a Jisc Enterprise, a not-for-profit membership organisation that provides digital solutions for UK education and research.

More than £300m saved on licences with Jisc in 2022/23*  

 * Following a review, these numbers are more significant than previously shared.
