Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Gartner Research Services," led by UK Export Finance, focuses on providing IT licences to support their Audit security team. This service falls under the auditing services category, specifically for computer software, and is located in the UK. The procurement stage is a tender update, and the key stakeholders have confirmed an amendment with the contract now set to conclude on 31st May 2028. Initial activities involved a direct award through the CCS G-cloud 14 framework, with Gartner UK Limited named as the active supplier. As of 27th April 2026, the contract is active with a value of £55,600.

This procurement process presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in IT, auditing, and consulting services. The use of a framework suggests a preference for companies with the capability to engage directly with government frameworks, especially those that can maintain compliance with regulatory standards like PCR 2015. Companies similar to Gartner, which are large-scale and operate without intermediaries, may find this tender particularly advantageous. It underscores the potential for growth in the public sector, allowing for the provision of tailored IT solutions to support strategic audit and risk management initiatives within governmental bodies.
