## Summary

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has issued a VEAT notice to extend their existing contract with Marini O'Shea Limited for Architectural Services. Originally awarded in November 2023, the contract, which focuses on building construction work under the CPV classification 45210000, will be extended until 31 October 2027, with the existing terms and conditions maintained. This extension is facilitated under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, permitting modifications that are not substantial. The procurement process is characterised by a limited procurement method without prior publication, and the contract was signed on 11 April 2025.

This tender presents a prime opportunity for businesses specialising in architectural and construction services to align themselves with government agencies such as the ICO, a prominent national agency based in Wilmslow, United Kingdom. While the tender is not open for new competition, understanding the procurement methods and timeline can benefit architectural firms looking to position themselves for future governmental contracts. SMEs in the building construction industry, particularly those experienced with professional services and public procurement processes, are well-suited to leverage such opportunities for potential business growth and strategic alignment with significant public sector clients.

### Lot Information

### 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
