Jenny Foggin,

Dear Ashraaf,

Thank you for your email. I can confirm that the University of Leeds has had a contract with Gartner but that this has been cancelled. I am not clear what you mean by 'research services'. If you can clarify this I would be happy to look again, but do note that I will be out of the office during early August.

Best wishes,

Jenny

Dear Jenny Foggin,

Thank you for your response.

Just 2 further questions on this:

1) Why was the Gartner contract cancelled
2) Whom can I contact to speak about providing the University with technology research similar to Gartner?

Yours sincerely,

Ashraaf Haque

Jenny Foggin,

Dear Ahsraaf,

I have been on leave and so have only just seen this message. If you would like to supply the University, you will need to get in touch with our Purchasing team, as set out on our website. I cannot recommend a specific individual, as people work across teams and accounts, however the central contact number will get you through to the most appropriate person, and there is more information on the website about how to work with us. I can only provide recorded information through the FoI process, but it is always possible that a member of that team will have a recollection of the reasons behind the contract being cancelled and will be able to discuss this matter with you outside the legal FoI process.

Best wishes,

Jenny
