Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks has concluded the award stage for the "Gartner Executive Program Subscription" contract under a direct award procedure. This contract, under the industry category of subscription services (CPV code: 79980000), is situated in Northern Ireland (UKN region). The procurement process, which required a procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, has recognised Gartner U.K. Limited as the sole supplier due to the exclusive nature of the required services. The contract was officially signed on 28 June 2024, with an award value of GBP 504,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in subscription and advisory services, specifically those dealing with exclusive intellectual property or unique service rights. Although the procurement method in this case did not involve a competitive tender, it underscores the importance of understanding niche markets and exclusive service offers. Companies with experience in high-demand, specialised services, particularly large enterprises like Gartner U.K. Limited, are well-placed to secure such exclusive contracts by maintaining logical and substantial intellectual property portfolios.
