Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council, located in Glenrothes, UK, has concluded a public procurement process titled "CFM0279-1 - Gartner Research Services". This contract falls under the industry category of General Public Services and has been initiated to purchase two additional Gartner licences for a 24-month period. The procurement stage is marked as 'Award' with the contract being signed on 19th February 2025. The procurement method used was 'limited', specifically executed without a prior competitive call, under the G-Cloud 14 framework. The supplier awarded this contract is Gartner UK Ltd, based in Surrey, and the value of the contract is GBP 96,400. The tendering process did not involve any SME or EU bids, highlighting it as a call-off from an existing framework, focused on technical reasons that limit competition.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT consulting and technology research services. Companies specialising in providing subscription-based technology research or similar services might particularly benefit from such contracts, as they can leverage their expertise in delivering tailored insights and strategic guidance through subscription models. Businesses that have existing partnerships or capabilities aligned with the frameworks like G-Cloud and can deliver specialised, non-competitive technological solutions should consider exploring similar public procurement opportunities for growth and innovation. This specific example demonstrates how large-scale providers can strategically expand their service offerings within local government frameworks.
