Though the words don't say so specifically, this is presented as though it were a type of open access, though it really is not. It is, at best, open access for UK students attending institutions that are Jisc members. That said, we are told that the plan provides access to "the Kortext Open Resources Collection – a curated collection of open access (OA) books and open educational resources (OERs)." I went looking for them on the Kortext website, and spent a fair amount of time digging around, but without that Jisc login I really have no access at all. So mostly what I see here is a mechanism designed to block access to open access books and OERs - surely the opposite of what the authors involved had in mind.
