## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority has recently completed a procurement process for Research and Advisory services aimed at providing ICT research and advisory tailored to the needs of Chief Information Officers or similar roles within the organisation. The procurement, conducted under the G-Cloud 12 framework agreement, followed a selective method and has awarded the contract to Gartner U.K. Limited. The contract, valued at £215,600, was signed on 31 March 2021. The buying organisation is based in Glasgow, UK, and the procurement stage is at the award phase.
