How to win their contracts

Measured from Intellectual Property Office's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 23 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 8 of their tenders.
• They publish about 0.8 tenders a month, measured over 52 months of history.
• Half of their 6 awarded contracts are worth £317.7k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in it services: consulting, software development, internet and support, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, education and training services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Empyrean Digital Limited (2), Daisy Communications Limited (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
