## Summary

The Intellectual Property Office is seeking bids for a Software Asset Management Service through a selective procurement process, following the closure of the tender period on 28th June 2019. This opportunity, valued at £138,787, is categorised under software maintenance and repair services with a contract period set from 1st July 2019 to 30th June 2022. The service will assist the IPO in managing its data, providing licensing advice, and making cost-effective technology investments, with the tender published on 22nd July 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software maintenance and asset management services to engage with a government entity and demonstrate their capabilities.

The nature of the call-off from a framework agreement suggests that businesses with established frameworks and a track record in public sector contracts could find a strong advantage in their bids.
