OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow procured Gartner consultancy services for delivery in Glasgow. The requirement is classified as information systems or technology strategic review services, placing it in the consultancy market rather than goods or construction. The procurement description identifies the service as Gartner consultancy but does not set out particular projects, deliverables or subject areas. The buyer is the University of Glasgow, an education institution, and Glasgow is the stated delivery location. This is a buyer-specific requirement for consultancy, so firms assessing fit should consider whether their advisory services are comparable to the consultancy procured and can be delivered for the University of Glasgow in Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gartner UK Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 23 September 2026, for a value of £190,000. The stated maximum contract period is three years (36 months). The University used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, citing the absence of suitable tender responses under Regulation 33(1)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement comprised one lot. The published evaluation basis allocated equal weight to quality and price, at 50% each. Bid statistics report one bid for the lot. The award date is not stated in the available process information.

This award shows that the University of Glasgow buys Gartner consultancy and that the requirement can be addressed through a direct award after a previous process produced no suitable tender responses. For a supplier seeking comparable work from this buyer, credibility would depend on demonstrating that its consultancy is a strong fit for the requirement, with convincing evidence of quality and a competitive price: those were the two equally weighted evaluation factors. The procurement information does not describe specific technical disciplines, accreditations, staffing levels or prior experience requirements, so firms should not assume that any particular specialism was decisive. The contract’s stated maximum duration indicates a substantial consultancy engagement, making relevant delivery capacity and the ability to sustain the service important considerations.
