BiP Solutions has cemented its reputation as one of Europe’s
leading providers of public sector contracts information
by publishing its two millionth contract notice since January
1998.
The contract notice, issued by Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, was for graffiti
removal services and had a value of up to £100,000. It joins thousands
of public sector contracts published daily through BiP’s market-leading
contract information services, which offer comprehensive coverage of all values
of contract, from small, local requirements to multimillion-pound international
projects.
BiP’s in-house contracts research team search thousands of sources from
the UK and overseas each day to provide essential business intelligence to all
sizes of organisation; from SMEs through to multi-nationals. A third of FTSE100
companies use BiP services, while BiP also manages the electronic distribution
and reporting of contracts information for over 500 UK public bodies, including
the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR), the Ministry
of Defence, the Home Office and the Scottish Government.
While contracts information remains core to BiP’s offering, the company
is a provider of a diverse range of public procurement solutions, and advises
organisations across the UK and internationally on how to achieve best practice
in this complex and frequently changing environment.
Ron Burges, CEO of BiP Solutions, said: “If you consider the combined
value of the two million contracts we have published since 1998, that is a huge
amount of business that has been generated from the public sector in the UK and
internationally.
“BiP has played a vital role
in making UK businesses aware of these opportunities and, by
increasing competition for public contracts, has also helped
deliver greater value for money to the taxpayer. We look forward
to providing businesses of all sizes with many more opportunities
in the future" |
