## Summary

The Scottish Government procured Gartner research services and associated licences to support delivery of its Public Service Reform (PSR), Digital Strategy and other key economic drivers. The requirement was for access to research services and licences, rather than research commissioned as a one-off study. Licences were to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Scottish Government, a national government body. The procurement was grouped as one requirement and covered research services. Its focus on research access and licensing makes it relevant to suppliers providing business and technology research, analyst services, or subscription-based research products for public sector strategy and reform work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gartner following a call-off from the G-Cloud 15 framework, with supplier selection under that framework’s guidance. The stated route was a limited procedure without a prior competition notice. Evaluation weighted research services and licences at 60% and price at 40%. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and is active. Its value is £2,318,400. No contract period or award date is recorded in the process data. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the recorded outcome is therefore an active contract with Gartner, and no cancellation of that award or contract is reported.

This award demonstrates Scottish Government demand for substantial, ongoing access to research services and licences supporting public service reform, digital strategy and wider economic priorities. A credible competitor would need a broad, relevant research portfolio, dependable licence access and the capacity to support public-sector strategic work across these areas. The evaluation placed greater weight on the quality and suitability of research services and licences than on price, so suppliers need to show how their research offer directly serves government strategy needs as well as providing competitive pricing. The call-off route through G-Cloud 15 also shows the importance of framework access and compliance with its selection guidance. One bid was recorded, indicating this award was decided in a limited competitive context.
