## Summary

The procurement process for the "Gartner Agreement" was initiated by United Utilities Water Limited, a private utility entity located in Great Sankey, UK. This tender involved the renewal of Gartner's advisory services. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method due to the proprietary nature of Gartner's services, commencing from 31st July 2025 to 30th June 2028. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on IT services including consulting and support. However, as of 31st July 2025, the contract related to this tender was cancelled, discontinuing the procedure without an agreement being signed.

This tender represented a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in IT consultancy services, particularly those able to offer strategic tools similar to those provided by Gartner, such as Magic Quadrants and Peer Insights. The substantial contract value of £450,000, exclusive of VAT, underscores the lucrative nature of the engagement. While the direct award method limits competition, businesses capable of matching Gartner's service breadth and continuity, particularly niche or high-tech consultancy firms, could find similar opportunities beneficial for market growth and expanding their governmental service portfolio.
