As an exclusive added benefit of being a SOPO member, we are pleased to offer you an annual license to the BiP Solutions’ e-notice service Project completely free of charge.

Project allows you to create, manage and transmit your contract opportunities electronically, and its use is widespread across the UK public sector. Currently, over 500 buying organisations have signed up to Project, including the UK MOD and most recently the House of Commons.

Project is an official eSender to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) as well as an interoperability partner with the national lower-value contracts portal Supply2.gov.uk. It facilitates the compliant creation and management of all types of OJEU and non-OJEU (lower-value) contract announcements. Project now regularly accounts for up to 45% of the UK contracts submitted to the OJEU.

Why use Project?

• XML dispatch of notices allows for reduction in notice timescales
• Automatic publication of your lower-value opportunities on Supply2.gov.uk
• Online EU statistical return
• Searchable database of contracts created and submitted

As a SOPO-endorsed service, you can be assured that Project will deliver major benefit in your role. This free annual licence offer is limited to one per SOPO member – however, if after using the service you believe others in your organisation may benefit from it, a discount on the normal annual licence fee of £150 is available.

Ensure that your authority achieves better value for money and opens up its procurement needs to small businesses by emailing buyer@sopo.org.uk to take up this offer now!
