G-Cloud is all about making it easier for suppliers and government to work together. The aim of this phase of G-Cloud is to create a government marketplace of cloud services – which we’ve called the CloudStore.
As the name suggests G-Cloud is focused on cloud-based services – this includes public and private cloud. In the first phase we are working with suppliers of: IaaS / PaaS and SaaS and services that relate to them such as data-migration, service integration.
The overall process follows these stages:
-
Suppliers submit bids for the services they wish to supply
-
Government then evaluates and selects suppliers based on the responses provided and creates a Framework Agreement with the successful companies;
-
We then conduct mandatory assurance checks and, for the successful services, we invite suppliers to put their appropriate services through an optional pan-government Accreditation Process ;
-
Government buyers use the CloudStore to compare and select a service to meet their needs through a call-off contract.
