Provision of Work day Implementation Partner

Intellectual Property Office · Central government

In brief

Intellectual Property Office has announced plans to buy IT and software work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £3,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 39 months, up to 6 years with extensions, starting 2 November 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for IT and software contracts in this region (from 59 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £3,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The IPO are seeking information from experienced Workday systems integrators (SIs) capable of delivering an end-to-end implementation of Workday Financial Management, Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), and Payroll for our organisation. This RFI aims to validate the market’s capability, implementation approaches, indicative timelines and costs, risk areas, and value-added services.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
