BiP Solutions

BiP Solutions (BiP) was established in 1984 to facilitate business between the public and private sectors. What began with the publishing of public sector contract information has since developed into the provision of a comprehensive supply chain solution.

BiP is a leading provider of public sector procurement solutions, offering buyers and suppliers access to probably the world's largest database of current open contract opportunities. Over 500 UK government organisations, including the UK MOD, rely upon BiP’s services to create and manage their contract information.
As the industry authority on UK and European procurement, no company provides more all-encompassing business intelligence services or offers a greater commitment to their clients’ success than BiP.

2009 saw BiP celebrate 25 years of trading. During that time, the company has established itself as an authority on all aspects of public procurement, and advises thousands of organisations in the UK and internationally on how to achieve best practice in this complex and rapidly changing environment. BiP’s Procurement Advice and Support Service (PASS) helps buyers to stay compliant and improve their tendering processes, and provides suppliers with greater knowledge of how to succeed in this marketplace.

BiP is also a world leader in innovating and developing new products to help private sector companies to identify new business opportunities and increase their competitiveness. Among these are the Tracker and Market Monitor business intelligence services, which provide subscribers with the latest intelligence on public procurement and the wider business sector via email alerts and an online search facility. BiP’s Select service provides a government-standard self-certification and accreditation scheme for suppliers, and reassurance for buyers.
