Extension to Helpdesk/Data Assurance Contract (Cluster) - Modification Notice

Opportunity overview

This notice relates to the modification of a contract in accordance with regulation 72(1)(b) PCR. Additional services by the original contractor have become necessary. A change of contractor cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interoperability with existing services and a change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for MoJ. The MoJ intends to implement a new delivery model for the future provision of facilities management services across the MoJ estate. This new model will be delivered via the Property Transformation Programme (PTP). This programme includes those services currently being provided under this contract and the PTP procurements are currently at evaluation stage. The existing contract was previously extended on 26/09/2024 but, given the size and complexity of PTP, it will not be fully mobilised until late 2027. The MoJ has therefore determined that it is necessary to extend the existing contract by 13 months from September 2026 to October 2027 to ensure continuity of critical services whilst the PTP procurement processes conclude. The additional services refer to the continued provision of services by the original contractor over the extension period. These additional services are necessary to enable continued service provision and also to prepare for service transition to a new provider(s) to be appointed under the PTP procurement processes referred to above. For various reasons, as set out below it would not be possible to run a procurement for a new contractor to provide these services over a 13- month period. The FM services to be supplied are complex, deliver in live operational sites and require a vetted workforce and supply chain. Although alternative suppliers exist for FM services in general, it would not be feasible for MoJ to competitively procure and successfully mobilise a new contract with an alternative supplier to the existing contractor Kellogg Brown & Root Ltd, in advance of the anticipated transition to PTP. The increase in price as a result of the extension is less than 50% of the original contract value. The extension was entered into on 14/01/2026. See further VII.2.2
