## Summary

The Intellectual Property Office bought a backup service for its Microsoft Office 365 environment, using AvePoint software. The requirement is classified as a service and concerns software for backing up or recovering data. The buyer is the Intellectual Property Office, based at Concept House on Cardiff Road in Wales. Delivery locations are listed across the United Kingdom, Europe and other international territories, so the requirement is not confined to a single stated site. The procurement is for provision of the AvePoint Office 365 backup service; no further breakdown of the service scope is described.

The procurement is complete and AvePoint UK Ltd was selected. The award was made on 21 September 2026, with a contract running from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2029. The awarded value is £261,584.52. The estimated procurement value was £196,188.39. The Intellectual Property Office used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 21 September 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot structure are described.

This award demonstrates demand from the Intellectual Property Office for managed backup of its Microsoft Office 365 environment, with service coverage potentially extending across UK and international locations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply and support AvePoint Office 365 backup, with the capacity to protect the buyer’s cloud data across its operating locations. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and experience delivering comparable call-off services would be commercially pertinent. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers could be relevant where they can meet the service and coverage requirements.
