Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office (NAO) has completed the contracting process for the provision of subscription-based research services, awarded to Gartner UK Limited. This contract falls under the 'Subscription Services' industry category, with the main procurement category being services. The contract, facilitated through a direct call-off from the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework, commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set for an initial two-year duration, ending on 31st March 2028. An optional extension could see it continue until 31st March 2029. The contract, valued at up to £390,400, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, in line with Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses experienced in providing subscription services, particularly those that can engage with public sector organisations such as the NAO. The procurement method indicates a streamlined process that may favour well-established large-scale suppliers, like Gartner UK Limited, due to the lack of competitive tendering. Businesses aiming to grow their footprint in public sector subscriptions should consider developing strategies to engage in similar frameworks or direct award procedures. This contract also highlights the growing importance of digital and research services in supporting public sector operations.
