Summary of the contracting process

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has completed a procurement process for extending an existing contract with Currie and Brown UK Ltd for Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor services, under the industry category of building construction work. This extension, which is detailed in a Contract Award Notice published on 11 April 2025, will extend the contract originally awarded in July 2023, now set to last until 27 July 2027. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as falling outside the scope of application of the directive.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in professional services related to building construction, specifically those capable of providing quantity surveying and project management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise and a proven track record in similar services may find this contract particularly suitable. Given the contract's extension nature, businesses already acquainted with the procurement mechanisms of national agencies such as the ICO might be at an advantage in understanding the terms and conditions of such modifications.

Notice Title

Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor services

Notice Description

Professional Services (Quantity Surveyor & Project Manager)

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is not a new contract opportunity, but rather a VEAT notice to inform the market that the ICO are seeking to extend their existing contract for Quantity Surveying & Project Manager services with Currie and Brown UK Ltd which was originally awarded in July 2023 and is due to expire on 27 July 2026. The extension period will be for a minimum of one year (terminating on 27 July 2027)

Procurement Information

This VEAT notice relates to a modification to the contract originally awarded in 1995 following a competitive award process. The ICO considers that the modification is permitted by Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as a modification which is not substantial. The proposed extension of the contract is based otherwise on substantively the existing terms and conditions and does not render the contract materially different in character, change the economic balance of the contract or considerably extend its scope
