The UK government has launched its latest version of the G-Cloud procurement framework, G-Cloud 14; which is designed to simplify access to cloud-based computing services for public sector organisations. We are delighted to announce Bridgeall is once again an approved G-Cloud supplier with our services available via the G-Cloud 14 framework.
This means government agencies will be able to purchase Bridgeall services in the following lots:
- Lot 1: Cloud Hosting (PaaS, IaaS) – cloud performance or infrastructure which allows buyers to deploy, manage and run software, and provision and use processing, storage or networking resources.
- Lot 2: Cloud Software (SaaS) – applications which are accessed over the internet and hosted in the cloud.
- Lot 3: Cloud Support – to help set up and maintain cloud software or hosting services such as; Cloud migration planning, Set up and migration, Security services, Quality assurance and performance testing, Training and Ongoing support
What’s new in G-Cloud 14
G-Cloud 14 will replace G-Cloud 13 on the 9th of November and will continue to provide a large variety of cloud-based services from a range of suppliers including:
- cloud hosting services
- cloud software services
- associated support services
Here are the following changes that are being introduced:
- Improved terms and conditions, with greater inclusion for the provision of day rate cloud support services
- Inclusion of the latest procurement policies, including social value and prompt payment
- Introduction of a fourth Lot for further competition for Cloud Support Services for larger, more complex requirements
It is important to note that the scope and application process for Lots 1-3 remain unchanged.
Benefits of this change
It is intended to build upon the benefits of the previous G-Cloud framework agreement, including:
- access to multiple suppliers and cloud services, including a high number of SMEs
- quick and easy route to market
- access to the latest cloud technology and innovation
