Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College bought a Gartner for IT Leadership Team Plus licence, providing Cloud Research for its IT leadership team. This is a specialist research and information service supporting IT leadership, rather than a software implementation or general IT supply. The buying organisation is based in Egham, and the service is for delivery in the South East of England.

The procurement is complete and Gartner UK Limited was selected. The award was made on 11 August 2026, with a contract running from 12 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded value is £72,300. The service was procured through Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud 14 framework. The recorded tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026. The procurement is classified as a services contract; the published information does not set out a separate evaluation method or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates demand at Royal Holloway for subscription-based research tailored to an IT leadership team, specifically covering cloud research. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns would have a relevant research service and a licence model suited to an organisation’s IT leaders. The selected route was the G-Cloud 14 framework, so experience supplying through that framework is directly relevant to this buyer’s purchasing approach. The award went to Gartner UK Limited, which is recorded as a large supplier; this indicates that the selected provider was an established research supplier, but the procurement information identifies no required accreditation, minimum capacity or particular experience thresholds.
