Calendar entries created on iPad not appearing on Outlook Calendar

I receive calendar .ics files via email attachment on a regular basis from one of my customers which are generated from Apple's iCal. When I receive the email on my iPad and tap the .ics file to add it to my calendar it is added successfully and appears on the iPad calendar but it never appears in my Outlook calendar. There are no other issues with the Outlook calendar apart from these .ics file generated appointments not flowing through to Outlook.

If I manually create appointments on the iPad they appear on Outlook within seconds typically, but for some reason that I can't understand these .ics files appointments don't flow through. I've noticed that I cannot "edit" these appointments either on the iPad - there is no "edit" button when I view these appointments, unlike other appointments that have an edit button where I can change the date/time etc.

Anyone come across this before or know why these appointments won't flow through to Outlook (they are added to the correct calendar on the iPad)?

I have current versions of all software on the Mac and iPad is on the latest version of iOS 7.
