Description
The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is conducting Early Market Engagement (Engagement) to procure services needed to deliver the second phase of its Transformation Programme (Phase 2). The purpose of the Engagement is to provide the market with an opportunity to influence the possible structure of a potential invitation to tender. Through this process you can express views and provide detail on potential ways of working and offer feedback on possible contractual arrangements which may help the IPO meet its needs. This Engagement is not a formal procurement process nor an Invitation to Tender, although it may shape part of a tender opportunity in the future. No associated documentation or any associated Preliminary Market Engagement Notice constitutes a ‘call for competition’. Suppliers who wish to participate in this Early Market Engagement should submit their expression of interest to CommercialTransformation@ipo.gov.uk. Suppliers will then be invited to submit their response via the IPO's e-tendering portal - Atamis. The deadline for submission of responses to the Request For Information is 2.00pm on Friday 20th March 2026.
