Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for "Gartner Research Services". The procurement, classified under subscription services, was carried out using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in London, with the procurement process being managed by DEFRA, the contract encompasses multiple regions including the British Overseas Territories and the UK, and has a total value of £2,449,000. The contract period is set from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2028, and the award was made to Gartner UK Ltd on 21st November 2025.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing subscription services especially those that can partner with large entities like DEFRA. However, SMEs and VCSEs were noted as unsuitable, suggesting that larger or more established firms with experience in framework agreements would benefit the most. Companies looking to expand their footprint in the UK and associated territories through strategic partnerships could leverage such contract opportunities for growth and innovation.
