## Summary

The British Tourist Authority, operating as VisitBritain/VisitEngland, has completed a procurement process titled "BTA2160 Dubai Office Lease" within the services category. This contract pertains to the leasing of non-residential property in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with an active period from 10th June 2025 to 9th June 2026. The procurement stage is complete following a direct procurement method, conducted below the threshold without competition, reflecting compliance with UAE statutory requirements for team workspace. The contract was signed on 16th May 2025, with a total value of £51,688.52 GBP and managed by the British Tourist Authority from its Birmingham office.

This tender offers potential opportunities for businesses specialising in property leasing services, particularly those with expertise in international real estate markets such as the GCC region. With the award going to Marin Business Center LLP, companies able to provide comprehensive, equipped office spaces that meet rigorous regional labour laws stand to gain from future lease requirements. Understanding local legal and operational mandates, along with competitive pricing, is crucial for firms aiming to engage in similar procurement activities and benefit from international expansion and market entry in high-potential zones like Dubai.

## Notice

The GCC is a crucial market for VisitBritain and our trade license to operate in the UAE requires us to have office space, however the lease on the current office space is expiring and we need to relocate. Due to statutory requirements of Labour Law in the UAE, it is imperative to provide a fully equipped working space for the team to facilitate the issuance of work visas, as all personnel are expatriates. This provision is crucial to ensure compliance with legal mandates and to support the operational efficacy of the team. We have been unable to discover any current Government framework agreements that would facilitate the rental of office space outside of the UK so the Dubai team has thoroughly researched and analysed options to ensure optimal value and to find the best solution, encompassing key requirements. We will review options ahead of the end of this current 12 month rental period.
