Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "RBGKEW1462 IT Subscription Self Service" has been conducted by the Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, classified under the IT services industry category (CPV code 72000000). The contract aimed to provide IT news and insights via a self-service online platform, using a limited procurement method under the CCS framework G-Cloud 14, Lot 3 Cloud Support. Despite being awarded a contract on 30th June 2025 to Gartner UK Limited, the related lot was subsequently cancelled. The process is described as falling outside the scope of standard directives, under the legal basis of directive 32014L0024 and was concluded with an "active" status. The procurement covered multiple UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of delivering consulting and software development solutions. Given its focus on IT subscription services, firms with expertise in cloud support and innovative delivery of digital content could find lucrative growth opportunities. SMEs such as Gartner UK Limited, who specialise in IT consultancy and support, are well-suited to compete in such procurements, especially those operating within frameworks like the CCS G-Cloud 14 that facilitate the provision of government digital services. The active involvement of an established buyer like the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew exemplifies the potential for substantial business development in this sector.
