## Summary

The University of Aberdeen recently completed a procurement process for the "Gartner Advisory Service" under the category of services, specifically within the education sector. Located in Aberdeen, Scotland, the procurement was conducted using a limited method, awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique nature of the services. The contract, valued at £263,400, was signed on 11th November 2021, with the procurement process classified under the special provisions of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The initiative was justified on the grounds that the required knowledge base material is not readily available from other suppliers or service providers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in offering specialised advisory services, particularly those with expertise in educational resources and technological consultancy. Given that the contract was awarded to Gartner U.K. Limited without competitive bidding, it indicates a preference for unique solutions rather than typical offerings. Companies that can provide specialised, high-quality advisory services tailored to the academic sector are well-positioned to explore similar opportunities in future procurements by the University of Aberdeen or similar institutions across the UK.
