The service supports reviews of planned upgrades, transformations and new digital systems, helping the organisation assess whether proposals reflect best practice and deliver value for money. This is a professional research and advisory service rather than a physical supply or construction project. The work supports Scotland-wide public health and public service activity, with the buyer based in Edinburgh. Relevant suppliers are those providing structured technology, digital transformation and IT market research to public sector decision-makers, particularly where research is used to test proposed system changes and investment decisions. The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. It comprised one lot, covering the subscription research service, and Gartner was selected as supplier. The contract is active, was signed on 1 August 2026, and has a total value of £1,226,100 including the 36-month contract term. The procurement received one electronic bid, with no bids from small or medium-sized enterprises. The award was made for the full requirement rather than being divided between suppliers. The published process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring breakdown. For a supplier assessing future demand from Public Services Delivery Scotland, this procurement shows a requirement for established subscription research that can inform public-sector technology and digital investment decisions. A credible competitor would need authoritative, current analysis of IT markets and suppliers, alongside coverage of system upgrades, transformation programmes and emerging digital technologies. It would also need to provide usable evidence for senior reviews, including comparisons with best practice and assessments of value for money. The requirement was met by a large specialist research provider, suggesting that breadth of coverage, dependable content and the capacity to support named users over a sustained service period are important competitive qualities. ## Notice This procurement is for access to Gartner Subscription based Research Services for PSDS named individuals.
