Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council procured subscription-based research and advisory services from Gartner to support projects and initiatives across numerous Council services. The requirement covers evaluations, feedback and market insight on Council projects and initiatives, providing external analysis to inform decisions and service development. This is a professional business and management advisory service rather than a goods supply or construction requirement. Delivery is centred on Stirling and supports the Council’s organisation-wide activities. The contracting authority is Stirling Council, a local authority. The procurement is classified under CPV 73210000, covering business and management consultancy and related advisory services. The requirement was arranged as one lot and concerns renewal of the Council’s existing Gartner subscription.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Stirling Council selected Gartner UK Ltd for the single lot. The contract value is £218,700 and it was signed on 22 June 2026. The procurement used an open procedure and was made as an award against the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14). One bid was received, submitted electronically; it came from a non-EU bidder and none came from SMEs. The contract concerns renewal of the Council’s Gartner subscription. The recorded procurement status is complete. The award outcome identifies Gartner UK Ltd as the sole supplier, and the contract is held under the same procurement reference as the award.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of subscription-based research, consultancy and advisory services aimed at public-sector organisations. The buyer uses the service across numerous Council functions, so credible competitors would need to support a broad range of projects and initiatives rather than a single specialist team. Relevant capability includes producing robust evaluations, practical feedback and timely market insight that can inform public-sector decisions. Suppliers should be able to provide an established, scalable service with coverage extending across multiple business areas, backed by analysts or advisers able to understand varied Council requirements. The procurement also demonstrates demand for a structured route to market through a public-sector technology and services framework, making framework access and experience of public-sector delivery commercially relevant.
