## Summary

The British Tourist Authority, trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland, has completed a procurement process for a lease renewal of their Dubai office, under the tender titled "BTA21222 - Dubai Office Lease." This contract falls under the industry category of non-residential property renting or leasing services. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, categorised as below threshold without competition. The contract began on 2nd June 2026 and will run until 1st June 2027, with the possibility of a 12-month extension up to 2nd June 2028. Located in the United Arab Emirates, this procurement supports VisitBritain/VisitEngland's strategic objective to maintain current premises that are operational, which avoids significant business disruptions or additional costs associated with moving.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in property leasing services, particularly those capable of offering strategic international office locations, to nurture strong relationships with central government bodies such as VisitBritain/VisitEngland. Although this particular contract was awarded directly to Marin Business Center LLP, businesses aligning with these service categories might find future opportunities in providing additional or supplementary services. The procurement strategy also points to the potential value for businesses capable of offering unique solutions that minimise operational disruption and add strategic value in international settings.

## Notice

The award of this office tenancy contract through a Single Tender route is considered appropriate and justified due to the nature of the requirement, being a renewal of an existing office tenancy rather than the procurement of a new or replaceable service. The current premises are already fully operational, strategically located, and fit for purpose, supporting the day-to-day activities of the business without disruption. Relocating to an alternative premises would involve significant operational, financial, and timing impacts, including lease exit costs, fit-out expenses, downtime, and potential business disruption. As a result, the incumbent landlord is the only viable supplier capable of meeting the requirement within the required timeframe.
