## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has recently completed a public procurement process for the 'Gartner Advisory Service', classified under computer support and consultancy services. This contract was initiated through a limited procedure without prior publication due to the specific technical requirements that necessitated the use of Gartner's exclusive knowledge base. The contract was signed on 11th November 2021, with a total value of £263,400. The procurement was carried out in Aberdeen, UK, with the relevant authority operating within the education sector.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and advisory services, particularly those with a focus on information technology and knowledge management. Companies that provide unique technical solutions or have exclusive partnerships, similar to Gartner, may find themselves in a strong position to compete in such limited procurement processes. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in delivering high-value advisory services are encouraged to explore future opportunities within this procurement framework to expand their client base in the public sector.
