The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded to IP BY DESIGN LTD for a total value of £150,000. The contract is set to commence on 4th April 2018 and will run for two years, concluding on 3rd April 2020. Tender submissions were accepted until 14th March 2018. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on patent and copyright consultancy services, and the location of service delivery is in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IP management and support services, particularly those with experience in the higher education sector. Companies that can offer innovative solutions in IP strategy, revenue generation, and commercialisation will be well-positioned to compete. The successful contractor will work closely with the University's Research and Industrial Partnerships team, providing a central service that aligns with the University's strategic objectives, thus creating further avenues for collaboration and growth for engaged service providers. ## Notice Over the last few years the University's approach to the management and commercialisation of Intellectual Property (IP) has been largely reactive, due in part, to a limited availability of resource and in-house expertise. The University therefore is looking for IP management and support services to further support its increased focus on the impact of research activities. It is recognised that more robust processes and management of IP related activities are required to strengthen and increase the University's IP portfolio, realise commercial potential, maximise revenue generation and aid the achievement of the University future ambitions as set out in its strategic plan. As such the University wishes to explore the potential to outsource its Intellectual Property Management and Support requirements to capitalise on external expertise and improve all aspects of the University's IP position. Tenderers are invited to tender for the provision of IP Management and Support Services at the University of Lincoln. The successful tenderer must have recent experience of IP within a Higher Education environment. The Contract will run for a period of two years on a one plus one year basis, commencing 4th April 2018. There will be no further extensions available. The successful Consultant shall be integral to the Research and Industrial Partnerships team and work as an extension of this team in providing a central service to the University which will complement the team's other services. The Consultant's main point of contact shall be with the team's Contracts and Intellectual Property Officer, supported by the Industrial Partnerships Manager.
