Summary of the contracting process

Registers of Scotland bought a Gartner for HR subscription, a specialist information and advisory service for human resources. The requirement covers subscription access rather than implementation, consultancy delivery or physical goods. The service is intended for use by Registers of Scotland at Meadowbank House, 153 London Road, Edinburgh. The procurement is classified under CPV 79980000, covering subscription services. The buyer is Registers of Scotland, which also acts as a central purchasing body. The scope was a single requirement: purchase of the Gartner for HR subscription, described as available directly from Gartner. This is therefore relevant primarily to providers of HR research, benchmarking, advisory content or comparable subscription-based services, rather than general HR staffing or software implementation firms.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Gartner U.K. Limited was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026 and is valued at £107,700. The subscription covers 24 months, with an optional 12-month extension. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the CCS Digital Marketplace G Cloud 14 Framework. The stated rationale was that the purchase was available directly from Gartner. One bid was received, submitted electronically; none came from an SME. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. There was one completed lot, and the contract remains active.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that Registers of Scotland purchases specialist HR intelligence through a subscription model and uses the CCS Digital Marketplace G Cloud framework route. The requirement was sufficiently specific for the buyer to procure Gartner directly, so a future competitor would need a clearly differentiated HR research and advisory proposition, with credible content that supports workforce and people-management decisions. Comparable services would need to be packaged for subscription access and capable of serving a public-sector organisation over a multi-year term. A supplier would also need the relevant framework position or an equivalent compliant route to market, alongside the operational scale to provide reliable, ongoing access and support.
