The Intellectual Property office (IPO) is conducting Early Market Engagement (Engagement) for the provision of Project Accelerator.

The IPO are currently using Project Online integrated with Power BI to manage their IT project portfolio, planning and capacity management. As Microsoft have announced the Project Online end of life dates, we are now looking to move away from Project Online to a replacement tool by March 2024 so the new FY plan can be added into the new tool in line with the IPO planning process.

Following a review of our IT and Organisational requirements and a number of road mapping workshops we have made the decision to move to a Power App hosted solution using the Project Accelerator tool. IPO are now looking for a partner to help build the current Project Online functionality into the Project Accelerator, with an aim to allow future iterations to integrate with Azure Dev Ops.

The linked specification summarises our requirements, which are still subject to change based on the feedback from the market engagement approach..

The purpose of the Engagement is to provide the market with the opportunity to influence the potential structure of the proposed tender process. Through this process you can express views and confirm latest product/service developments, ways of working etc which may meet the need of the IPO.
