It's a good question, to which we've no evidence to give a conclusive answer. In my opinion, I don't think Gandalf would have offered Saruman the possibility of repentance without at least the
agreement of the Valar, leaving aside if he received any direct orders from them.

Was Gandalf following orders from the Valar?
