## Summary

The Scottish Government bought Gartner research services and licences to support delivery of its PSR, Digital Strategy and other key economic drivers. The requirement is for research access and associated licences, rather than a wider digital implementation contract. The procurement is categorised as a service, with delivery described as licences supplied in the UK.

The procurement is complete. It was awarded to Gartner through a call-off from the G Cloud 15 framework, using a limited procedure without a separately published competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £2,318,400. One bid was recorded. Evaluation weighted research services and licences at 60% and price at 40%. The requirement was handled as a single lot; no contract duration is stated.

For suppliers considering similar Scottish Government requirements, this award shows demand for research services and licences that support public-sector strategy and economic priorities. A credible competitor would need to provide relevant research content and licensing, with a strong quality case: research services and licences carried more evaluation weight than price. The award was made through a G Cloud framework call-off, so familiarity with that route and the framework’s selection guidance would be commercially relevant. The recorded competition consisted of one bid, making a clear fit to the specific research requirement important.
