Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured subscription-based research services from Gartner UK Limited, for delivery in London. The requirement is for access to research services rather than specified software development or support work. It sits within the broad area of IT services and consulting (CPV 72000000).

The procurement is complete and Gartner UK Limited was selected for the contract. The Ministry of Defence made the award on 1 September 2026, at a value of £48,200. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The buyer used a selective process, making a call-off from framework RM1557.14. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026.

The award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for subscription-based research services through a framework call-off. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to provide relevant research content on a subscription basis and be capable of serving a public-sector buyer in London. The selected supplier was a large company, but the procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so scale alone was not presented as a barrier. No particular accreditation, technical specification or specialist capability is identified.
