Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Sanctuary Housing Association, focused on acquiring a subscription to Gartner Research Services under the title "Gartner Subscription." This public sector tender falls under the "Computer support and consultancy services" category and serves multiple UK regions, including UKC to UKK. The procurement utilised a direct award method because Gartner UK Limited holds exclusive intellectual property rights, making them the sole provider for the needed services. The tender process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 31st March 2025, commencing on 14th July 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2028. The total contract value is £406,584, as per legal guidelines outlined by the UKPGA 2023/54.

This direct award tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in providing computer support and consultancy services. Although the contract has already been awarded to Gartner UK Limited due to their exclusive service rights, firms that offer niche technological expertise and consultancy services should remain vigilant for similar opportunities. Understanding the strategic procurement rationale and establishing partnerships with exclusive service providers can position businesses favourably in future engagements, particularly within the public sector realm. Companies with specialised skills that complement exclusive rights in this industry can explore collaborations or look for similar tenders in other sectors or regions.
