The contract, valued at £111,200, has been awarded to Gartner, starting on 1st July 2025 and concluding on 30th June 2027. This procurement falls within the services category under the CPV classification of research services and targets the London region in the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically as a call-off from the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework. The tender stage is at award, having reached completion with the publication of the award notice on 11th June 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in research services to leverage public sector collaborations.

The selective procurement approach signifies a streamlined process for firms with existing framework arrangements, enhancing efficiency and potential profitability. Businesses equipped to provide high-level subscription-based research services tailored to public sector needs could significantly benefit from participating in similar upcoming opportunities.
