## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council procured independent ICT advisory services to support its digital, technology and transformation objectives. The requirement covers specialist strategic, technical and executive-level expertise, including advice on ICT implementation, service improvement and optimisation; ICT governance, risk management and cyber resilience; and the development and delivery of ICT and digital strategies. The service also supports technology investment and procurement decisions, leadership capability, digital maturity, alignment between technology decisions and organisational priorities, and value for money. It includes access to specialist research, industry trends and emerging technology insight. This is an ICT consulting and support service, classified under CPV 72000000. The buying organisation is North Lanarkshire Council, based in Motherwell.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award to a single supplier without competition. The award was made to Gartner UK Ltd through the GCA G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 3 Cloud Support (RM1557.14), for £668,800. One bid was recorded. The selected supplier is responsible for the full independent ICT advisory requirement, covering strategic, technical and executive-level support. The award route indicates that the council used an established public sector framework rather than running an open competition. The contract is recorded as active. The procurement’s stated evaluation outcome is therefore the selection of Gartner UK Ltd for the council’s complete ICT advisory service, rather than separate awards for lots or different service components.

This award shows that North Lanarkshire Council values a single supplier able to combine senior strategic advice with practical technical expertise and executive-level support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to advise on ICT implementation, service improvement, optimisation, governance, risk, cyber resilience and digital strategy, while also understanding technology investment and procurement decisions. Evidence of helping organisations improve leadership capability and digital maturity would be relevant, as would the ability to connect technology choices with organisational priorities and value for money. The requirement also favours suppliers with strong research capability and informed views on industry trends and emerging technologies. Familiarity with public sector framework routes, including cloud-support arrangements, would strengthen credibility.
