Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), part of Scotland’s NHS shared services, procured renewal of Gartner subscription-based research services for named NHS Scotland individuals. The service supports planning, budgeting and forecasting, and provides insight and good practice from other organisations. This is a professional research and advisory subscription service, rather than a purchase of standalone IT equipment or software. The requirement was delivered for NHS Scotland; the buyer is based in Edinburgh. The procurement used the G-Cloud 14 framework. The named-user access is intended to support NHS Scotland staff carrying out planning and financial forecasting, with access to comparative research and practices that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gartner through an open procedure under the G-Cloud 14 framework. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active. Its stated value is £393,600 for a 36-month term. The requirement was managed as a single lot for renewal of the existing subscription-based research service. The stated purpose and scope concern maintaining access for named NHS Scotland users to support planning, budgeting and forecasting. The award information identifies Gartner as the selected supplier; no separate award amount is recorded. The available procurement details do not set out a separate scoring formula or detailed technical, financial or accreditation thresholds for evaluating suppliers.

For suppliers competing when this requirement next returns to market, the relevant capability is access to subscription-based research and insight that can inform public-sector health-service planning, budgeting and forecasting. A credible offer would need to serve named users across NHS Scotland and provide useful comparative evidence and established practice from other organisations. The awarded contract indicates demand for sustained access to this kind of research service, delivered through a cloud framework route, rather than a one-off consultancy assignment. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their research is relevant to NHS planning and financial decisions and can be made available to the required users throughout a multi-year service. Gartner, a large supplier, was selected following a process that recorded one bid; this outcome shows the type of provider that met the buyer’s requirement.
