Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS), located in Newport, Wales, has concluded the provision of its executive programmes membership for Chief Information Officers through a procurement process classified under subscription services. This procurement was managed via a selective method, specifically a call-off from a G-Cloud 14 framework agreement. The tender process has reached the award stage, with Gartner UK Limited being the supplier. The contract, valued at £218,700, covers a period starting from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. Business users should note that the tender process officially began with the tender period closing on 10th February 2026, followed by the awarding date on 11th February 2026.

This procurement opportunity provides a strategic avenue for businesses specialising in subscription-based research services to engage with a prominent public sector organisation like the ONS. The contract could offer significant growth potential, particularly for SMEs capable of delivering high-quality research services. Although the procurement was conducted selectively, the utilisation of the G-Cloud framework demonstrates a commitment to streamlined and accountable contracting processes, which could inspire similar approaches in subscription services sectors among eligible small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The involvement of Gartner UK Limited suggests that well-established firms with relevant experience are a good fit for such engagements.
