## Summary

The University of Glasgow procured Gartner consultancy services for an information systems and technology strategic review, with delivery in Glasgow. The requirement was handled as one lot and was specifically described as the provision of Gartner consultancy. The buyer is the University of Glasgow, and the selected supplier is Gartner UK Limited. This work concerns strategic technology advice and review rather than the supply of equipment or construction. The procurement records a contract for consultancy services to the university; no further breakdown of deliverables or intended review topics is stated.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gartner UK Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 23 September 2026, at a value of £190,000. The requirement was procured by a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, following an earlier open procedure that received no suitable tender responses. The stated justification was that no suitable tenders or participation requests were received. The single lot is marked cancelled in the lot information, although the award is active and a contract is active. Evaluation criteria are recorded as quality and price, weighted equally at 50% each. The original lot description states a maximum period of three years (36 months).

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide specialist consultancy for strategic review of information systems or technology, with the capacity to advise a large university. The selected supplier was Gartner UK Limited, a large supplier, and the procurement followed an unsuccessful open competition before moving to a direct award without a published competition. This outcome indicates that suitability for the buyer’s specific requirements matters: a generic technology offer may not be enough. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant strategic-review expertise and deliver quality alongside competitive pricing, since those two considerations carried equal weight in evaluation. The purchase is a single consultancy requirement rather than a multi-lot programme.
