Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process involves the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) as the buying organisation, seeking consultancy services under the title "Project Accelerator" to enhance its digital project management environment through iCoTech's Microsoft Power Platform expertise. This procurement falls under the project management consultancy services category, covering locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, among others. The process is in the award stage, with the contract initiated on 1st September 2025 and set to conclude on 31st August 2026. The procurement method used is selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was active from recent award notice publication on 12th September 2025, and the project's contract value amounts to GBP 19,800.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy and digital solutions, particularly those familiar with the Microsoft Power Platform. SMEs could leverage this engagement to demonstrate their expertise in optimising and enhancing project management environments. Such contracts enable smaller enterprises, like the appointed supplier iCoTech Group Ltd, to expand their footprint in public procurement and build long-term relationships with governmental organisations such as the IPO. Businesses with capabilities in project management consultancy services are well-suited to compete in similar tenders in the future, fostering growth and potentially increasing their market share in digital consultancy domains.
