The G-Cloud framework is a UK government
initiative designed to simplify the process
of procurement for public-sector entities
across the UK. Created through a partnership
between the Crown Commercial Service and
the Government Digital Service, G-Cloud
10 is part of the UK government’s ‘Digital
Marketplace.’
The 10th version of the G-Cloud portal was
originally announced in March 2018 and
the CSS agreed to start accepting bids from
suppliers in April 2018.
Since introducing the first G-Cloud iteration in
2012, the government has invested almost £3
billion on the system, with 48% of that spend
dedicated to small and mid-sized enterprises.
The 10th version of G-Cloud was launched
to meet the demands of new suppliers and
refresh services for current providers. n
