## Summary

The Intellectual Property Office initiated a direct procurement process for the "EPIP Conference" event services, with a total contract value of £10,000. The contract is scheduled to commence on 14 September 2022 and conclude on 16 September 2022, taking place in Cambridge. The procurement method used was a single tender action, which was below the established threshold. The tender period ended on 1 August 2022, and the award for the contract was made on 28 July 2022.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for event management companies and service providers in the hospitality sector, particularly those capable of managing conferences and events. As the procurement process has concluded, successful bidders like IfM Engage Ltd may set a precedent for future projects, providing insights for SMEs that aim to engage with public sector opportunities. Businesses with experience in delivering similar events, particularly in academic or professional environments, would be well-suited to compete in analogous tenders in the future.
