Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council procured an IT leadership advisory subscription from Gartner U.K. Ltd. The service provides council IT leaders with access to technology research through a continually updated library of documents, together with unlimited calls to experts to discuss current and future projects. This is an IT consulting and support service, classified under CPV 72000000. The requirement supports technology planning, decision-making and project development rather than software implementation or hardware supply. Delivery is for North Yorkshire Council in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is North Yorkshire Council, based at County Hall in Northallerton. The requirement is a service for a public-sector technology leadership function, combining access to digital research with direct specialist advice.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. North Yorkshire Council used a selective call-off from the GCA Framework Agreement RM1557.14. The award was made on 30 June 2026 to Gartner U.K. Ltd for £443,700. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029, with no optional extensions. The procurement was evaluated and progressed as a framework call-off rather than as an open competition for all suppliers. The requirement was not marked as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The awarded supplier is Gartner U.K. Ltd, a large organisation. The procurement covers one service requirement and one awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from North Yorkshire Council for externally provided technology research and specialist advice for IT leadership. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need a maintained, authoritative library covering technology and digital management topics, with the capacity to keep content current and add new research. They would also need enough specialist personnel and operational capacity to provide unlimited expert discussions about live and future public-sector technology projects. Experience advising senior IT decision-makers and translating research into practical planning or project guidance would be relevant to this requirement. The route to market is important: a credible future provider would need access to the relevant framework arrangement or an equivalent approved public-sector purchasing route, rather than relying only on open-market tendering.
