G-Cloud Framework Support
Win your place on G-Cloud and unlock access to £8bn+ in government technology spend. Expert application support for cloud hosting, software, and support services.
What is G-Cloud?
G-Cloud is a Crown Commercial Service framework agreement enabling public sector organisations to procure cloud computing services through the Digital Marketplace. Established in 2012, it has transformed how government buys technology, with total spend exceeding £8 billion.
The framework operates through the Digital Marketplace, where buyers can search, compare, and procure cloud services from pre-approved suppliers. This streamlined approach means procurement can happen in days rather than months, making G-Cloud one of the most active government frameworks.
For technology suppliers, G-Cloud provides access to over 40,000 public sector buyers including central government departments, NHS trusts, local authorities, educational institutions, and emergency services. Framework membership is essential for any technology company serious about public sector growth.
